My name is Lindell. I am a retired award-winning investigative journalist. I teach writing, research and communications.

Here's a random photo of me and Bigfoot.

I look forward to getting to know each of you.

In this class, I will teach you how to write simple, effective academic papers.

We will have a little fun as well.

Please read the syllabus and start on Module 1, located in the Lessons & Assignments folder in the left side drop down menu.

Whether you're in high school, a freshman in college or returning after a long break to finish your education, I've been there. We will work together to get you through this course, and I'm willing to bet you pick up some useful tidbits along the way.

Any profession requires writing to some extent. I'm here to make you better at it. Let's get going.

Open the Getting Started folder and complete the syllabus quiz. It's how the college knows you're here.

Then start to work in the Module A folder. Let me know if you have any questions.

I will post an announcement at the beginning of most weeks. Make sure you read them.
