Course Description As stated in the EOU course description, WR 316 entails "intensive practice in advanced expository writing and prose analysis," with an "emphasis on developing a strong personal voice in essays ideally suitable for publication."   The Spring 2003 Bend-campus version of WR 316 will focus on study and practice of advanced prose writing on the World Wide Web, through guided analysis, writing, and independent research. WR 316 students will be granted webs on the COCC server and given guided instruction in the basics of  using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 web-editing software (and it's not that hard to learn!) in order to web-publish their own WR 316 prose writing projects on the World Wide Web (WWW).
