FAQ to the writing 3C
Q: Who are you?
A: Bill Hi.
Q: What do we do?
A: We write. There is quite a heavy workload due to the amount of writing you will need to do both in class and in your own time.
Q: What do I need to do to achieve a good result/become a better writer?
A: Read as much as you can, turn up every lesson, try not to waste too much time, don’t give up and don’t throw anything away.

A: No. Instead, you submit a folio of several pieces of work to be marked by at least two external examiners.
Q: Can I write in Comic Sans?
A: Get out of my class.
Q: How do I find you outside class time?
A: You probably won’t be able to, but : try the auditorium; try the office opposite this classroom rm446 ; try the office near the main office on level 2 with my name on the door at the back of the drama studio and don’t try on Fridays because I’m not here.
