About This Course
The most practical goal of this course is to enhance your skills and confidence as a writer. The most important goal of this course is to enhance your appreciation of writing as a way of understanding God, his creation, each other, and ourselves. The purpose of the journal assignment is simple: writing practice. Practicing a musical instrument or sport sharpens your skills and enhances your readiness for performance. In the same way, if you practice your writing, you'll be better off when the time comes to "perform" on the papers you turn in for a grade, in this class and others.
