Suppository Writing


MEM0


Date: September 6, 2013

To: University Curriculum Committee
Subject: New Course Proposal.


                Since several people have expressed interest in an advanced writing course and in courses of a practical, "real-world," nature, it would seem like a good time to consider a course in  Suppository Writing.

                 ENG 103 -- Suppository Writing.
 
                                A study of organic expression.  Especially useful for the writing of academic papers, grant applications, philosophy, popular novels, unauthorized biographies, and other coprophagous genre.  Should be a requirement for Political Science majors.  Students will be expected to discharge several fecund works of excremental fiction and nonfiction.  Special attention will be given to the proper use of the colon.
 
                Course Content Objectives:
 
                                Through practical application of the writing process, students will learn how to digest information and concepts so that they can easily extrude a fertile and organic end product. They will understand the value of purgation in writing.  They will learn how to be secretive in their writing so they can externalize what had previously been internalized.  Through exposure to the writings of effluential authors, students will learn to appreciate works of cathartic literature.
 
 Additional Notes:

                 This is, naturally, an alimentary writing course, and should, perhaps, be taught on a pass or fail basis.

                 Room assignment shouldn't be a problem.  Just about any room will do as long as it has stools.
