The Structure of our Semester
Condensing Writing 1 & 2
This class is a one-semester condensation of Writing 1 and 2 .
Writing 1 uses workshop techniques to develop students' self-confidence and fluency as writers. Prior to each class, students are asked to undertake targeted reading and writing exercises designed to strengthen their observational, critical, analytical and creative capacities. During class, writing is shared in peer review sessions, where connecting with one another's ideas and challenges is emphasized.
Writing 2 continues the workshop format, training students need to engage in scholarly research and long-form writing at the university level. All substantial papers go through multiple drafts, and students have opportunities for multiple rewrites of their work throughout the semester.
