Here is some advice for students thinking of taking this class next year.

Some tips for taking this class next year:
· Be on time. There were always a few people that were late to class that would interrupt the flow. I must admit that I have done this a few times as well, but do not make it a habit. And if you must be late for some reason or another, be polite by being quiet because the class does start AT 10:00.
· Be willing to work hard and learn. This class is fun but it is very writing intensive, hence the name WRIT. In this class there is a lot of focus on your individual style of writing, so also be able and willing to critique your own writing and be able to do it as objectively as possible. The major papers that you do write are crucial to your grade. Therefore, do not put it off.
· Engage yourself in the in-class discussions. Do not be afraid to speak up and voice your opinions. The class discussions can be very helpful and very informational. In our class this year there were usually a select few that spoke up and kind of controlled where the argument went. This was not the best situation for a healthy debate, because we did not always get to see all side of an argument or have them defended.If you think you are the person that would fit these few points, then you will succeed in the class. This is a great class to take if you are an opinionated person. It is also a class that will improve your writing, even if it is in the slightest bit.
