The primary aims of this course are for you to continue to improve the writing skills you have developed in English 1001 and 1002, as well as other courses, with the goal of producing the kind of writing you are most likely to need in your future (and sometimes present) academic and professional careers. This course is primarily workshop and discussion, which means you will write frequently, share your written work with your classmates, and critique each other's work in a constructive atmosphere, working on ways to develop and focus material, to manage stylistic features such as tone, and to practice the conventions of Standard Written English. Note: This section of English 3001 meets in the computer lab on odd-numbered weeks and in the room next door (3130) on even-numbered weeks. Please come to class on odd-numbered weeks with your own floppy disks.
