About the class

Hello everyone,

 

I’m Jason.  Welcome to GEC Writing.  I have designed this class for intermediate level students who want to improve their writing skills and to learn more about different types of writing, including essays and short stories.  Usually, GEC classes are flexible.  A lot of the students who take GEC classes want to improve their writing skills because they are preparing for a test or getting ready to study abroad.  I encourage students to give their input to help me decide what topics to focus on, so please let me know if there is something specific you would like to practice in this class.  Remember, there are no exams or grades in this class.  Your goal should be to relax and learn and practice as much as possible.

During the week I’m busy teaching classes, preparing lessons, and checking homework.  Our class meets on Thursday afternoons, so I ask that you submit your weekly writing assignments no later than 8 o’clock on Sunday evenings.  That way, I will have a chance to check your homework before the next class.

Writing assignments can be submitted by posting them as comments on the blog.  The blog address is kutgecwritingjason.blogspot.kr.  Students who don’t already have a gmail address or Google ID will have to create one.

I recommend that students write their assignments using a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word.  When you’re ready to post your assignment to the blog you can copy and paste from the Word file.  Doing it this way will avoid many problems.

Remember that attendance is important when taking GEC classes.  Please try to attend all of our lessons.
