Writing Assignments

Free Choice:

This semester, you will have the chance to write about any topic (within reason) throughout the semester.  Once you pick your topic, you cannot change it without first discussing it with the professor.  Each assignment you will explore the topic in slightly different ways, practicing different rhetorical techniques.
