This class is intended to develop your skills in writing, reasoning, argumentation, and research, which prepares you to express yourself clearly, strongly and persuasively in various academic contexts as well as in your career and the rest of your life. The assignments will cover many of the skills necessary for research-based composition and you will have practice writing in various genres.
This is an online class. For the whole semester, all interaction with your instructor and your classmates will be by way of the UH Laulima and the Enhanced InSite systems. I will also be available through scheduled chat sessions on Laulima and via email, phone, or Skype.
You will need to discipline yourself and manage your time carefully. On-campus Spring session classes meet three times per week. This online class will demand the same amount of time, even though we’re not meeting in a classroom.
