The writing assignments are opportunities for you to explore, explain, and reflect on your personal experiences and philosophies. This course asks you to engage in reading and writing that shapes experience and philosophy and communicates these to an audience. The course includes selected essays to complement the writing assignments, essays that will show you how other writers approach similar writing situations. It would benefit you to read as many of these essays as possible, but you must read and write a few paragraphs about one essay per assignment where reading lists appear.

Since changes in edition can take place, students are advised to wait and purchase texts after enrolling in the course and receiving the course study guide. This course is a conversation, a communication with your instructor, which is why you may submit only one lesson at a time, and only after receiving a response to the previous one. Please bear this in mind if you have deadlines to meet for your graduation. In these assignments, the instructor will be primarily concerned with getting to know your work and your writing concerns and goals. As you move from sketches to finished pieces, you receive letter grades in addition to comments on your work.
