able to give you the attention you need, I ask that you schedule an
appointment the week before youd like to meet.
Peer Critique: The peer critique is your response to the pieces presented in
the workshops. Please read each piece carefully, then write an analysis,
describing the essays strong points and pointing out areas where you feel
the writing might be improved. Try to make your comments as specific as
possible. Careful analysis of the peer essays will, of course, help the author,
but will also help you to become a better writer and critic.
One final note: One week before your scheduled workshop, youll be asked
to bring copies of your second essay to class. You must to bring enough
copies for everyone. Because this class meets in the evening, its nearly
impossible to distribute work outside of class. Essays not brought to class
the night they are due will not be reviewed. If an emergency forces you to
reschedule your workshop, you are responsible for: 1) finding a classmate to
switch time slots with you; 2) informing me, so I can update the schedule.
Workshops are to be rescheduled ONLY in emergency situations.
I hope you find this a rewarding and productive semester. I look
forward to sharing your work.
writing two essays, a short, 2-3 page memoir and a longer (5 page) personalinformative essay. Your must turn in a revised draft of your first essay on
3/8; a polished draft of your second essay is due on the final night of class.
Late Papers will not be accepted. You are encouraged to do multiple
revisions. Though it is not required, I suggest that you form peer workshops,
with group members critiquing one anothers drafts.
