I am available from morning to evening times.  In the month of June, I am in Korea, but the rest of the year I am in US central time. This class can be offered anytime during my availability and is scheduled by request.

In this course, we will cover the fundamental skills to creating a strong essay.  We will look at examples and practice with each other to learn the art of writing and argument.  The first week will focus on writing a strong thesis.  The second week will focus on organization.  In the third week, we will cover how to use evidence to argue persuasively.  In the final week, we will discuss writing strong introductions and conclusions, as well as polishing the essay.  Class will be based on discussion, as well as practical activities to apply the skills we are discussing.  Outside of class, students will have the opportunity to complete and submit essays applying the skills for additional feedback.  No previous writing experience is required for this course.  We will cover all the basics needed.
