DPLS 714: ADVANCE ASSIGNMENT

Materials to Bring To Class

1. Select 3 to 5 pages from a sample of your work that you might be interested in publishing, and bring three double spaced, typed copies to class. Do not worry about whether the work is actually publishable, but select a work on a topic of personal interest. This manuscript may be from a chapter of a thesis or dissertation, a paper you prepared for another class, a book review, a grant application, or a report you prepared for an employer or client. Please do not write a new paper, but make whatever revisions you would like. Be sure that you bring something you are willing to let other students read.

2. After reading Chapter 1, make a list of the three to five impediments to writing that you have found reduce your productivity. You may include impediments identified in the reading or you may list others not mentioned. The important thing is to identify the factors that are most troublesome for you. Students’ lists will provide the basis for a class discussion on improving writing productivity.
