You will be held responsible for these new skills every week in your writing.  Since this is an online workshop, you can work on these topics outside of class at your convenience, so long as you master approximately one topic per week, for a total of ten topics.  This means that if you wait until the end of the quarter to complete all ten topics, you will not receive full credit and your essay grades may suffer.
