Writing Analytically Assignments for Sewall Classes

Writing Analytically , 4 th ed., by David Rosenwasser and Jill Stephen,
is an assigned textbook in all Sewall classes. We are using this book to
give students guidelines for all written work in Sewall classes. All your
class written work and exams will be graded according to how well
your papers meet these guidelines for analytical essays. I suggest that
you read and/or skim through the following pages to become better
