It's not independent study-- it's a regularly 8-week college writing
course where everyone starts at the same time, has the same
deadlines, etc.
I figure I'll try it. Since I have a different full-time job to be
creative in, it might be nice to have a pre-designed course anyway,
particularly considering its very low pay.
