Dr. Elwood's Advanced Writing I Class

　

	Greetings and welcome to the new Advanced Writing I class! In these 10 weeks, we'll learn and practice writing skills to build on the skills you already have. In addition, much of the material from my 1st-year writing class is available here. Feel free to consult and use it as you'd like. The pictures to the right, you ask? Some are of Tsukuba, some of my things and people in my world--enjoy.
Class structure... Here is where you'll the nitty-gritty of our class: the basic description, the syllabus for the year, and how to contact me. Reference... Material to be used throughout the year--hint, hint. Classes by term (archived)... Here you'll find a class-by-class schedule of each term. All of the files from class are available here.
