This course will help students develop the writing skills, rhetorical abilities
       ***,
and writing technology proficiency necessary for succeeding in a society that
is increasingly dependent on information & communication technologies. The
course work will involve engaging in written conversations & analysis of texts
using various Internet-based writing tools, including the world-wide web &
electronic mail as the primary tools, with some postal correspondence &
electronic real-time interaction, as appropriate.

Students will work with the instructor & with each other to develop writing
projects, computer & networkrng proficiency, and methods of evaluating their
work. The specific writing tasks will be generated by students and will be
based on their interests and needs, possibly ranging from traditional essays
