This is not a light weight course. You will be reading the entire text in the first few weeks. It is writing intensive, and it is a demanding course as far as time and thinking. It requires self discipline and a substantial amount of study time each week. Occasionally, students become upset about the work before really getting involved in the class. Please skip that waste of time, recognizing that this is a genuine opportunity to learn a lot, to enhance your writing and reflective reasoning skills.

You will have a great time, you will feel inspired, excited, and may get carried away doing the activities, once you get involved. Here's to you and the next 15 weeks (yes, in the Winter and Summer session, it could be just 4 weeks)!
