1. To keep the classroom/workshop society a comfortable place by coming to class with a positive open-minded outlook and work that has been developed to the best of each student's ability.
2. To offer students the opportunity for frequent and extensive writing, guided by a teacher, supported by peers with constructive criticism relevant to the student piece being read during class.
3. To be able to identify characteristics of English grammar, mechanics, and usage and apply them to their own texts as well as others they may edit.
4. To develop a scheduled strategy at the beginning of the semester for submissions by brainstorming a piece, constructing a calendar for a specific amount of pages to be completed and revision of a final draft to be handed into the professor at the conclusion of the course.
5. To have fun and not take oneself too seriously while analyzing texts from contemporary and classical authors, attending class on a regular basis, and submitting to at least one contest or magazine throughout the semester.
