The draft will be due on March 1. We will have another paper conference after that date. The final version of the major paper will be due on April 3. The web board journal that you keep this semester will be an important part of our class. Your journal will be exploratory writing.
Exploratory writing is part of the process of thinking and a document of it.
It will be a documentation of the discussion that you stimulate. The process of writing will stimulate your imagination as well as others in the class and help all to generate ideas about our course. Entries and comments should be starter material for your take home exams and papers. Entries in your journal should allow you to enjoy writing, actively involve you in the discussion of issues raised by the course, and prepare you for other more formal writing assignments. These initial postings should be between 150 and 200 words long.
