<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>A few weeks ago I emailed the list serve in a
desperate attempt to get some answers regarding what classes would be offered
for winter quarter. What I was looking for was a list of class
descriptions put together by the faculty that details what classes are being
offered, what the format of the class will be, what the reading lists will be,
and how much work to expect. I was told to wait and look it up when the
schedule of classes was released. I still hoped some of the teachers would read
my email and send me the information I requested so that I could compile it for
them and then distribute the master list to all of the graduate students in our
program. <br>
<br>
Well I waited, and my patience was a huge waste of time. The schedule of
classes is for the most part totally useless. It does not give us reading
lists, it does not offer specifics, and often times it does not even tell us
who will be teaching the class. After my first email, only one faculty member
responded to my email. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>ONE !!!</span></b>
Plenty of people stopped me on campus to tell me they shared my frustrations -
students and teachers.. "good for you," they said - and yet no one
did anything. Are we really <i><span style='font-style:italic'>that </span></i>busy?<br>
<br>
Most of the faculty already know what classes they will be teaching in Spring.
I think the students should have that information as well. We are not simply
planning one quarter, we are planning two full years, and what classes are being
offered now verses in Spring could and should make a big difference in what we
choose to register for. This is not an outlandish request. It is unacceptable
that other than Professor Winer, who is on sabbatical and not even teaching
this quarter, no one answered my call for help. Why aren't the teachers eager
and able to help us get the most out of this program?<br>
<br>
Rumors are flying around that Tom Lutz will be teaching a craft class on our
campus next quarter. Why weren't we notified? How hard would it be to send out
an email or stick a flyer in our boxes? I am assuming he would be a visiting or
new professor which seems worthy of a little advertising. Most of us would jump
at the chance to work with him, and yet the majority of us had no idea a class
with him in Riverside was even an option.<br>
<br>
The system is inefficient and here you have a motivated capable student
offering to help free of cost. Please take advantage of it.<br>
<br>
I care very deeply about this program, in fact I feel absolutely privileged to
be here - On the first day of classes Susan Straight told us that it is our
responsibility as students to make it the strongest and most prestigious
writing program around- to make it as good as Irvine and Iowa - and I took that
very seriously. I am willing to do my part - to read all that I can, to perfect
my craft, and to learn what the professors on the campus have to teach me - I
am here to do nothing if not work my absolute hardest, but along with my
commitment comes an expectation that the administration and the faculty will do
their part as well. There is no reason we can't work together to get organized.<br>
<br>
Faculty - please send your class descriptions for this quarter and next
to <a href="mailto:carlyrose@mac.com">carlyrose@mac.com</a> . It doesn't matter
if you don't know when and where the class will be offered - just let us know
what we can expect in the coming months.<br>
<br>
I am sorry for the long rant, but I hope it will prove worth the time it took
to compose, and the time you took to read it.<br>
Thank you for doing so,<br>
<br>
Carly Kimmel<br>
