In this class learners will advance their essay writing skills and be able to choose from a variety of topics and facts to use in their essay, as well as various writing tips to help them with their writing. Each week they will write part of or an entire essay which they should turn in to the teacher before the next week's class for feedback and grading. The required length for the essay will increase as the class goes on, and the longest required length will be 9 to 10 double spaced pages.
