Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

Observation is the beginning of science. It is also the beginning of the process of writing. This class is designed to encourage you to observe the natural world and to write clearly about it. Thus you will be simultaneously strengthening your observational skills and your expressive skills. You will observe a single natural setting over the course of a quarter, writing short prose pieces that follow specific guidelines. Some of these pieces will be posted on the class website for those outside the class to read, thus providing you with an experience of online publication. Basic skills in grammar and punctuation are assumed; although it is not a prerequisite, you will find it helpful to have completed College Writing before you start this class. Competences: A2A, A2X, S1A, six, S4. Faculty: Patricia Monaghan.
