It’s been my experience that the more excited an instructor is for class material, the more likely students are to share in
that excitement. By maintaining a class that allows everyone to become personally invested in their own learning and development
as writers, I aim to give students a comfort zone in which they might better understand both their individual writing style
and, to some extent, the world around them. I also try to bring some microscopic measure of humor (/”humor”) to my writing
classes in the hopes that a lighter atmosphere will create a healthier, more productive learning environment.
