Class description

Our course strengthens your skills in writing at the college level. We do this by writing four essays, all of which go through the draft process. Much of our thinking and writing will center around issues of food, its preparation, consumption, production and distribution. This topic is purposely broad so that it allows you the freedom to explore your own interests in and arguments about our topic. Our course emphasizes your own writing skills and the importance of writing within a classroom and university community.
