In this course, we will examine the potential effects of computers on the writing process and on the social structures within which the act of writing occurs. In order to do this, we will look at computerized writing from a variety of perspectives, including discussions of computer networks as social structures. Finally, we will explore the World Wide Web, which brings together many of these aspects of computerized writing. Each student will design a set of World Wide Web pages, and each student will write a hypertextual story or essay. Each student will also write a paper that explores some aspect of computerized writing.
All assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the day assigned.
There will be unannounced quizzes, classroom exercises, and homework assignments that are not listed in the course schedule. None of these may be made up. Click HERE for the Course Schedule.
