2. To give me a clearer idea of whom to expect and when, check any or all that apply:
I definitely plan to attend the class for Sciences / Engineering students on odd Thursdays beginning week 3 (Jan 21).    

I definitely plan to attend the class for Humanities / Social Sciences students on even Thursdays beginning week 4 (Jan 28).    

I would definitely take this class if it were offered in summer / fall / next year.    

I won't be attending the class, but now that I know about the drop-in writing consultations, I plan to use them in the near future.    

I would like to encourage the ESL / Linguistics Program to offer more graduate-level language-skills courses specifically tailored to non-native speakers of English. If one were offered soon, I'd take it.
