CONFERENCES (Tuesdays and Thursdays)

Conference Topic: Describe your experiences as a writer and as a student (there may not necessarily always be a correlation between the two). What do wish to focus upon in improving your own skills? Where are you most confident? Where do you believe you need the most work? Why? What do you hope to get out of this course?
