Please contact Ms. Brenda Jervier for an appointment or email me. Methods and Objectives A general characterization of ENGL 105 is offered in the booklet, Your Introduction to Writing at Loyola . My role is to advise you, push you, encourage you, sometimes even berate you. But I cannot move you ahead unless you too are willing to put out real effort.
Nobody writes any specific essay perfectly the first time.
Feedback from various individuals who may read your first attempts is extremely useful, but it would be foolish to expect that you would find yourself satisfied with that early draft. Excellence in most fields comes from a high degree of self-reflection. Everyone who is genuinely alive in this world has opinions that they feel strongly about. I have tried to design this course around these principles. I hope you will see them at work in the coming weeks.
