There is a lot of information in this Web site. It's purpose is not to kill you off, but rather to just give you more ways to find out what to do. Most people get used to kusing this web site and "Course Packet" after the first few weeks, and then it makes the course seem much more accessible.

What does Eng 1108 involve?
As you may know, this course is the first college-level writing course - sometimes called "College Comp." This course provides you with the basics of writing college essays and gives you a beginning introduction to research skills. I plan to work you hard, but I also try to make class fun and the assignments interesting. If you are willing to work hard, I can turn you into a much better writer. So, please get ready for a hard but often interesting and sometimes fun ride on the roller coaster of writing. By the time you are done - if you stick with the course and earn at least a "C" - you will be able to say that you have learned a lot and made all of the rest of your college writing easier.
I have been teaching courses like this one for over twenty years, and I still very much enjoy teaching them. In fact, composition happens to be my special field of English. I have published several articles in academic journals and have made two or three dozen conference presentations about the teaching of writing. I also have had over 100 publications of popular-magazine articles and fiction stories, scholarly essays, photographs, and even a few poems in magazines and journals. (Click here for my resume or a sample fiction story.) As you can guess, I really love writing--and I love teaching writing, too.
If you ever have any questions, just ask me before or after class, email me, come to my office, or call me at home. I look forward to working with you!
Take care,
My easiest-to-remember email address is "richard at jewell dot net." (Convert this to regular email form: e.g., sue@smith.net. [Why am I printing it this way? There are software programs called "spiders" that automatically find email addresses on Web sites and sell them to junk-email advertisers. I'm already receiving 400-600 junk emails per week (many of them--but not all--blocked). Printing my email this way on a Web page helps me avoid more junk email.]
