Students in WRI 327 will be required to complete four kinds of activities: weekly homework assignments, a group project with presentation, an individual project with presentation, and participation in class activities. (We may also have a quiz or two on topics to be announced.) All activities should be completed and submitted before or on the due date. Please submit your written work typed or word processed. Remember to check for spelling and grammar, as these will effect your grade. See the Grading Criteria for more information. We will have a chance to discuss your progress during the term in our Student-Instructor conferences.
WRI 327 students must have access to e-mail and the internet. The instructor will provide assistance in finding, setting up and using these resources. Internet access is available on-campus and at most public libraries.
