Message from the Instructor

Welcome to Writing 195. I hope you will enjoy the readings and the assignments; I’ve certainly enjoyed creating the course and developing the modules. The course is designed to let you, the student, pick and choose, essentially making up your own writing course according to your interests or needs. Students in the sciences, for example, may be more interested in writing a research proposal or technology review; commerce students may want to do the business writing and technical reports.

After working at the Queen’s Writing Centre as a tutor for 12 years, it became clear to me that students have a variety of writing interests and requirements. I have taught this course for several years, refining it and redeveloping it along the way. However, my interests also revolve around the social history of Upper Canada; I received my History PhD in 1998 and have been teaching at Queen’s ever since, with a few side trips to RMC. I live in Kingston with three furry little housemates who never pay rent.
