Class Schedule and Outline

This class will consist of 5 major papers, a variety of exercises to improve writing skills and a  final project: a manual the students develop for use in some aspect of their major course of study.

Online students will submit assignments via e-mail, as Word document file attachments. Course materials will be on line. On site students may choose to send via email or deliver a hard copy.

All work will be evaluated according to the same rubric.  Final grades will be calculated from the student’s aggregate of graded work for the quarter.
