Writing Workshop (WW) Assignments
These exercises will be completed during Writing Workshop (WW) and emailed to Celia at the conclusion of that day's session. Celia's solutions for each WW exercise have been posted; consult them as "help" as needed during WW, but try to figure out the answers for yourself. Questions and feedback during WW are highly encouraged.
The purpose of WW is to help you improve your critical reading and rhetorical skills, and they will not be graded per se. However, your thoughtful and enthusiastic participation in WW and completion of the exercises will contribute to your final grade, as shown in the course grading scheme.
The writing workshop assignments are password protected and are available only students enrolled in PHYS 496. Please treat these exercises as confidential; they are not to be reposted or distributed to others outside the class.
