"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Ashley,

When unsure of what a course covers I usually do one of two 
things.  I
ask the professor(if I know them) about it and get a sense of 
what is
required.  The other thing if it is possible and I have friends 
who
have taken the course I ask them how it was.  Do you know anyone 
at
your school who has taken this course before?  When trying to get 
a
sense of the work load it is best to ask someone who has dealt 
with
the course.

Hope you enjoy this course,

Justin

 Hi all,

 I might take creative writing as an elective.  Its an intro 
class.
 I like writing but most my writing is concrete and probably not 
too
 creative; I thought this might help me write more descriptively 
and
 imaginatively.

 So what is a class like? If you took it, any challenges you had? 
Is it more
 discussion or writing in class?
 What topics are covered? What did you like most about it?
 A good thing about a writing class is usually there are not 
tests, but
 essays and projects for midterms and finals.

 Acording to the course description, it covers a little of 
everything seems
 like including drama, poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction.
 Thanks.
 Ashley
