The College Center: Course Projects

These projects or assignments here at the WorldWide Writers' PLACE are designed to introduce you to writing as a webbed process and give you practice in an array of strategies. By the end of a writing course you should have a better understanding of your own writing habits, so you can take control of writing situations and select strategies that will guarantee success. You will be able to communicate effectively with your target audience to achieve your goals.

While most of these projects focus on a specific phase of the writing process, each can be developed into a finished piece appropriate for some form of publication. At the same time, you will see how writing is dynamically interwoven with thinking and reading. These three processes cannot be separated. So in each of these projects we will show how writing is linked (literally, hyper-linked) to thinking and reading.

Students
If you are a student, to begin, use the navigation bar at the left of this screen to go to the class for which you have registered. In the syllabus for that course you will find the list of projects your teacher has selected for you.

Teachers
If you are a teacher, you may want to link your syllabus to one or more of the projects here. You may also select and compile these projects to build a Web-based writing course. In each cell of the table below, the assignments are listed in order of complexity and level of challenge, with the more basic appearing first. So the developmental college writing course offered here at the WWWriters PLACE, "Elements of college Writing," is made up of the eight projects that appear first in Discovery, Planning, Working in Groups, Reading, Drafting (linear), Drafting (non-liner), Revising, and Publication. The more advanced class, "College Writing and Critical Reading" is made up of eight projects appearing second in the cells.

Visiting Writers
If you are a visiting writer who has come to the Writers' PLACE for help with writing and you are not registered in a college writing course, you may want to choose one of the projects below that seems to match your writing situation, or you may use the navigation buttons in the header above to go to the stage of the writing project that best meets your needs. If you are working on a piece that is more technical or business oriented rather than academic or creative, you may want to visit the Business Center. There are additional menu choices there.
