Welcome back, class of 2017!
Glad to see you! I hope all of you had a productive, safe, and enjoyable summer. Well, gosh, let's get back to work!
First a few housekeeping things. We are following the standard school rules, just like every other class. Please familiarize yourself with these rules so you don't get into academic trouble. Remember: you're here as creative writing majors to learn the art and CRAFT of WRITING.
Luckily, this is exactly that course! If you try and participate, do your best, and keep an open mind, I'm sure you will do fabulously!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check this blog each class period for agendas, deadlines, educational information, advice, and a whole lot of links to enhance your education. All you have to do is read and click and read some more. The more you take advantage of this tool, the easier it will be to help you improve and craft your writing. There's good advice here, you just have to pay attention. Messages cannot be delivered effectively if you refuse to heed them.
If you're absent or missed something in class, please check the blog to get caught up. As stated above, each new class period includes a new post. If you have a question about an assignment and are too embarrassed to speak to me in public (or you have a question that you think you will forget to ask), feel free to use the comment section.
New to you this year will be our E-Learning Craft of Writing course. You will be expected to use the site to submit your writing, take quizzes, and move through the course on your own pace. More about this will be discussed next week.
Today, after updating our passwords, logging in, and going over the finer points of the course criteria, we will get started writing. We'll start by reading Mary Oliver's advice to writers. Then, it's over to the lab and let's get writing!
