Your entries should by no means be limited to commentary on the class readings. Students who do well on journal grades typically have one or more personal entries a day. Your journal is a place for you to write. You will post to the class newsgroup at least once a week. Because some quizzes will be unannounced, I will allow you to make up one missed quiz.
Quizzes occur as needed.
In this class, I hope to provide you with some of the tools you will need to teach yourself to become a better writer. One of the primary tools we will use for developing these processes is the internet. We will do only limited work on essays during the class period, and you will need to finish them outside of class. Consequently, access to a computer will be useful. The Park Hall computer labs are available to you in the evenings and all day on Fridays.
