Last chance(s) to take Literary Analysis: No Problem!

The fabulous folks at the Writing Center pass along this message:

Students, it's not too late to get some help with your Intro to Lit papers. Check out this Writing Center class:

Literary Analysis: No Problem
This two-session class focuses on writing a critical analysis assigned in beginning literature courses. In this mini-class, you'll

• explore organizational strategies that work best in writing papers about literature
• look at strategies for doing a close reading
• find ways to make a comparison paper seamless
• examine critical strategies as well as organizational ones
  

Even if you missed the first session, you're welcome to attend the second. (A note from Mike: it's ideal for you to attend the full complement - the first session and then the second. The class is set up to discuss general principles of literary analysis essays on the first day and then to workshop students' sample essays on the second. It's a pretty awesome setup, and if you can fit both into your schedule that's the best way to get a lot of information quickly.)

Offered at these dates and times:

• Tuesdays, second session on Feb. 7, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.(Sec. 1)
• Wednesdays, second session on Feb. 8, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. (Sec. 2)
• Thursdays, second session on Feb. 9, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. (Sec. 3)
• Mondays, second session on Feb. 13, 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. (Sec. 4)
