This course will employ a variety of writing and editing exercises to give you a fuller sense of the writing process. The lecture material is kept to a minimum. Most of your learning will result from reading assignments, class exercises, and writing tasks. Writing can be learned best by doing it, not just talking about it. There will probably be a high level of activity in regard to classroom postings and discussions. The instructor will answer your questions about the writing process as they arise. Knowledge comes from inquiry.
