Writing 340
BAM! Another A paper in Writing 340. Suck on that non-math-majors.
I was really quite worried about taking this class after over a year of not writing any papers (the life of a math major and graphic design minor). I think though, that all those hours in design class, learning good design principles and critiquing design work has immensely helped my writing. It has surprised me how many principles of visual design apply quite similarly to writing. Contrast, repetition, proximity, emphasis, unity, even the particularly nice quality of things grouped in clusters of odd numbers, all apply, especially when painting a mental image.
