Paraphrasing course titles on resume Under the Education section of my resume, I have relevant courses listed for a position I'm applying for. Some of the courses have titles that are vague and do not convey their relevance well. Is it acceptable to paraphrase the course title in a way that does?

  Widgets and Doohickies (Whatchamacallit Theory).
