Up until class starts Saturday, I will be working on the syllabus, hence the "draft" label; but, by-in-large, the big picture is there. As always, write with questions to: prof.brandon@gmail.com.

One essential lesson of the class is: start writing early, produce a draft, and then revise it as many times as you have time. Each step helps to produce a more successful document, that is, a document which does what you want it to do. Starting early and revising also allows you to produce the best work you can in the time you have to devote to it. Finally, note I don't just talk this method of writing, I practice it myself. To succeed it the class, you will need to give the method a chance and judge the results for yourself.
