Welcome to Casey's Reading & Composition Class... also known as "How to be a Better Writer in College and Beyond"

Hello Students. I'd list all of your names here, but that will have to wait. We will use first names in this class unless anyone wants to be called by an alternate name or nickname. I want to be called CASEY. Please makes sure you tell me and our classmates what name you want to be called. I use he/his/him pronouns. Please tell us what your preferred pronouns are, and please don't hesitate to correct me or our classmates if we get your pronouns wrong. None of the Casey Smiths below are me.


I guess it's pretty obvious that we'll be doing a lot of reading and writing in this course. But we'll also be doing a lot of discussing, debating, revising, editing, laughing, joking, maybe singing, and countless other things. Humans are complex and ever-changing. 

If you work hard, help each other, and have fun, I promise this class will be memorable and useful. You will build confidence in your skills as a thinker and writer in this class. We all start from different places, but everybody needs to continue to learn. Me included.

It must be obvious by now that I'm a miserable web designer. If you want to help me, I won't turn you down. 

Let's go!

PS: I'm using this same blog for both of my "R&C" sections. DCAD is a small school, so I think this is a good thing.
