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. Solutions for each WW exercise are posted for your consultation and will be briefly discussed at the next session.

The purpose of WW is to help you improve your critical reading and rhetorical skills and will not be graded per se, but your 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 499. Please treat these exercises as confidential; they are not to be reposted or distributed to others outside the class.
