Intersession Courses - Fall 2006

Intersession courses provide a solution to students looking to accelerate graduation, or fill needed requirements outside of the traditional semester schedule. We also frequently offer upper division and graduate level courses that let advanced students study genre topics in a highly focused format.

These courses are held in the intersession period between terms, meeting daily. The exact schedule and length of daily session varies by course.

To register for intersession courses, students should go to "My UNM," and click on Class Schedule. Choose the following settings:

Select Term: Fall 2006
Subject: English
Instructional Method: Open Learning
Campus: Main

You can then find the class by the course number.

English 219: Technical and Professional Writing

Technical and Professional Writing will acquaint you with the styles, conventions, and formats employed by business, government, and higher education.

The class is supplemented by WebCT materials and instructors acting as supervising, managing, and collaborating co-writers and editors. This intensive, concentrated, workshop-based class — five hours daily for eight days days — requires a substantial commitment of time and attention, but it is time well spent, and you will learn many useful professional writing skills.
