Writing Workshop Assignments

Weekly "writing workshop" exercises will be completed during Writing Workshop (WW) and emailed to Lance Cooper at the conclusion of that day's session (if possible, or as soon as the assignment is completed). When appropriate, solutions for WW exercises will be posted on the website.

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 not available to students not enrolled in PHYS 598 PEN. Please treat these exercises as confidential; they are not to be reposted or distributed.
