【授業概要】

Students will be expected to actively participate in each and every class. Writing is a time-intensive activity so many writing assignments will be done outside of class as homework. Peer-evaluation will be anonymous to encourage accurate comments. In class, students will learn about effective writing through lectures, comparison of good and bad writing examples, peer evaluation, etc. A chronological folder will be used and consistently evaluated to see the progress of students’ skills.

【学修目標】

To improve the level of students non-fiction writing. Topics will be of two types; self-selected based on interest, and class-agreed-upon common topics. Students will learn to examine own writings and other writings for strengths and weaknesses and improve through anonymous student feedback and Instructor comments and suggestions.
