Brilliant Students: Welcome to Lawyering Process! This is a busy, fast-paced class, and it begins right away! As you explore the syllabus and other materials on our Canvas site, you'll see that the reading in this class is heavily front-loaded (the reverse is true in your other courses), while the writing and other deliverables get more intense toward the end of the semester. That means we have some readings (fortunately short ones) before we even get started. Before our first class, please do the following: Please note: You may receive correspondence from the Writing Clinic this week asking you to take a writing diagnostic test. You may take it if you want the assessment, but you are NOT required to do so. You will take a different diagnostic test for my class as part of the Core Grammar program that you will use this semester. |
