Description

Are you looking to improve your writing skills? Did you know that by changing instances of passive voice to active voice that you can improve the readability and usability of your documents and manuscripts?  

There is a reason Microsoft Word provides tools that help to identify occurrences of passive voice. It’s a common best practice to limit the use of passive voice to no more than 15% of a written document. So, how can you start improving your use of active and passive voice today? 

Active and Passive Voice Course provides students with valuable information that will help them understand the differences between active voice and passive voice, and why active is the preferred voice to use in most writing. The training walks you through strategies for identifying passive voice sentences and converting them to active voice, and provides helpful tips for determining when using passive voice might be preferable. Interactive learning modules and quizzes help you retain your new knowledge and improve your writing.
