1301 :: writing about writing
This is a class about composing, experimenting, and reflection. Our goal is to become sophisticated and purposeful composers engaged in creating meaningful documents.
syllabus
Completely read the syllabus. The syllabus has more than UTPA boilerplate. Everything from my teaching philosophy to the course goals to the grading policy is explained within its pages. You may need to refer to the syllabus during the semester: you can always find it here.
projects
1301 is a writing class. And so, we'll be writing often. Our writing projects are sequenced (that is, they build off each other). I suggest reading through the whole semester's sequence of projects to get a feel for what we'll be doing this term. Then reread the project descriptions as we begin each project.
calendar
Keep track of your own work and any changes in our schedule. The calendar includes the tentative agenda for each class meeting, the homework and reading assignments, and deadlines and due dates. It's all on the calendar — follow it!
class forms
Any forms or documents I create for you as resources (like a lesson plan template or calendar) are available to you as Microsoft Word documents. Feel free to modify the documents to suit your needs.
readings
I have identified both "required" and "further" reading for our class. All those readings are available as PDFs. The further readings may be used for your researched argument or simply to add richer context to the discussions we are having in class. (These documents are intended for educational use and may not be reproduced for profit.)
