Journals

During this course, you will be required to complete 10 journal exercises. For each journal assignment, you will be given a different topic (sometimes free writing in class). Journals are usually one complete page; however, you are welcome to write more if you wish.

Your journals done outside of class should be typed double spaced, 12-point font size, and “Times New Roman” font style. Journals are the only assignments I accept via email as long as it is sent to me, attached, before 2 PM on the day it is due. It will not be excused if you forget to attach it or there is a problem with your email. Remember, printer/computer problems are not excuses either. So, do not wait until the last minute!

Late journals will not be accepted. If you are tardy on the day it is due, your journal will not be accepted. If you know you are going to be late, then make sure you email it to me well in advance.

Journal #1 – Due at the beginning of class Wednesday, September 2.

Topic: Write about a time you had a bad experience with writing. What are some of your weaknesses in general with your writing? Where do you want to see improvement?
