Do you requre any textboks for your online course, Impact of Style?
Yes, we require two texts:
These texts are valuable references for serious students of writing, even after the course session is complete. Please order these texts far enough in advance of your session to ensure they have arrived.  TOPWhat are the prerequisites for this online course? Should I have, or be working on, a college degree? Not at all. The lectures, assignments, and supplemental material make each element of style not just easy to understand, but relevant to your writing, regardless of your current proficiency. You only need a basic understanding of English grammar. Where the study of style requires greater knowledge of grammar, we provide all instruction necessary. TOPDo you offer high school or college credit for your courses? No, we do not offer high school or college credit. We are a private organization which focuses on enhancing the student's knowledge of writing. Our online offering, Impact of Style, provides a solid foundation for those students interested in pursuing a degreed program at an accredited institution of higher learning. This course is often used for continuing education for teachers, and many districts have approved this course for clock hours.. TOPHow much time does Impact of Style require on a daily basis? It is difficult to determine with any certainty the amount of time required on a daily basis. There are too many factors, such as the student's learning style, the student's existing familiarity with basic or advanced rhetoric, etc. Some of our students do not even speak English as their native language. In our experience, however, you will average about an hour per day. Keep in mind that the purpose of presenting our online course in an asynchronous method is to provide you the greatest flexibility in retrieving, studying and responding to the lessons. You are not required to sign in every day, but Impact of Style is a practice-intensive course. As with any learning endeavor, the more effort you put into the course, the more you will benefit. Since the lectures, assignments, supplemental materials and discussions can be printed for later reference, you can continue your studies after your session is complete. [Please check Syllabus..] TOPWhat do you mean by asynchronous instruction? Our students come from many countries across many time zones, so we have structured our online classroom to give students flexibility in scheduling their work. The lectures and assignments are posted on a clearly defined schedule. Discussions about the lecture and assignment operate as if the classroom door is always open and the blackboard always ready. You post your ideas or questions on the "blackboard." The next student enters the classroom, sees what you have written on the board (and how long ago), then picks up the chalk and adds his or her ideas. A third student enters ... etc. The blackboard becomes a journal of thoughts, ideas, questions, observations, concerns; more importantly, the blackboard can be printed in part or in whole for later reference. TOPIf I am unable to complete the course, can I get a refund? We are aware that extenuating circumstances can force a change of plans. Please keep in mind that your paid registration guarantees you a place in our course(s); once the course has started, that place cannot be filled. However, if circumstances do require that you withdraw, or TWW needs to reschedule or cancel a course, the following refund policies apply:
TOPHow frequently do you schedule your online sessions? We schedule our sessions to begin on the first Monday of each month. However, enrollment determines the number of sessions, as we require a minimum of eight students per session for maximum interaction in the classroom. It is not unusual for multiple, concurrent sessions to be in progress, but each session has its own classroom so discussions remain focused. TOPWhat happens if a session I wish to register for is closed? Once a session is closed, you are unable to register for that session. If you are unable to wait for the next session, you may contact us at Director@ToWriteWell.com with your request for extenuating circumstances. If accepted into the session, you would provide all payment and registration information at that time. Once your payment has been confirmed, you will receive your secure id and password. TOPHow many students are in the course? Student-to-student interaction is a natural part of the learning process, whether the classroom is located on a physical campus or located online. To ensure our students receive the best level of interaction, our minimum enrollment is eight students. Our maximum enrollment per session is eighteen. TOPWhat happens if a session does not meet minimum enrollment? Although we have not yet had to cancel a session due to low enrollment, we would notify registered students of the next session and give them the either a full credit toward a future session of their choice (within twelve months of their initial enrollment) OR a full refund. [See Refund Policy] TOPDo I have to use my real name? For the secured transactions, such as registration and payment, you will need to provide your real name and address. At the time you register, you are asked to supply a Screen Name, which may be either your real name or a penname. We highly encourage you to avoid obviously made-up names, as it creates a sense of unprofessionalism. We reserve the right to reject Screen Names we consider derogatory, prejudicial or inflammatory, and you would receive an email from our director asking for an alternate. If we receive a second Screen Name that is derogatory, prejudicial or inflammatory, our director will enroll you in the session using your first name as it appears on your payment transaction. TOPWhat if I forget my password? Just beneath the Login/Password fields on the Home Page, we have provided the link, Forget your password? Enter your email address in the space provided, and a new login/password will be generated and sent to the email address you provided at the time of registration. TOPIf my email address changes, will I be unable to login? If your email address changes during the duration of your session, you can notify us through the link, Contact Us. You must provide your full name, your student login and password, your old email address, the new email address and the effective date of the new email address. TOPI am interested in your onsite offerings. How do I get more information? Although the core material for our onsite workshops centers on using creative writing techniques, each workshop is customized for the client's purpose(s). Contact Us about your organization, and which onsite offering you are interested in. We shall be glad to structure a workshop that addresses your specific needs.
