Students in English 4C must write each week; however, they are not
commonly given specific assignments or exercises as a group. The
instructor makes suggestions according to the individual student's
work. For instance, a student whose poems are regularly short-lined
and without stanza breaks might be encouraged to try a longer line,
the poem shaped in quatrains.
