Guidelines:

Students may take only one First-Year Writing Seminar per semester.

1. Seminars should require at least six-and at most nine-formal essays on new topics, totaling ca. 25-30 pages of polished prose.

2.  No fewer than three of the 6 – 9 required essays should go through a process of development under the instructor’s guidance (e.g. revision, peer review, responses to readings, conferences).

3.  All seminars should spend ample classroom time on work directly related to writing.

4.  Reading assignments in the course subject should be kept under ca. 75 pages per week to permit regular, concentrated work on writing.

5.  All students should meet in at least two individual conferences with the instructor.
