About the program

Learn to write the way institutions really write. Students practice the subordinate clause, the passive voice, the cross-reference to an appendix that does not exist yet, and the phrase 'including but not limited to.' The capstone turns a two-sentence instruction into a four-hundred-word procedure.

The Division of Questionable Studies is a long-running Harrow Valley joke. These programs aren’t real, even by Harrow Valley standards.
