First of all, who is Alice?
Alice teaches psychology with an evolutionary lens at the State University of New York at New Paltz, and is the editor/publisher of Entelechy: Mind & Culture, an evolutionarily-informed interdisciplinary online journal. She is also the author of Trine Erotic, a novel that explores evolutionary psychology and other behavioral science themes.
Alice is currently working on a book (based on her essay with the same title, published at Metanexus) called An Evolutionary Mind (to be published as part of Imprint Academic's series: "Societas: Essays in Political and Cultural Criticism"), and plans to begin writing another novel soon.

CLEARING TIME FOR CLASS
One of the most challenging things about being a writer, for most people, is finding the time to work at it. Since you've made the commitment to take a class, this is the perfect time to find those precious hours. Begin figuring out how you can clear at least five hours a week to participate in your class activities. The amount of time you put into your class is directly proportionate to how much you will grow as a writer.
STUDENT WRITING PROJECTS
Each student will have at least two opportunities to present some (or perhaps all) of a writing project to the instructor and fellow classmates for critique. Regardless of the level of your work, this critique process is a valuable part of the learning experience. So if you don't already have a project in mind, or underway, begin working on one or at least formulating a rough idea before class begins. If you're totally stuck, relax - the first weeks of class may inspire some ideas.
GET A HEAD START!
If you do have a project already underway and would like to present your work in the early weeks of class, log in to the student center at http://student.writingclasses.com and click the link to volunteer for early submission.You'll receive a reminder of these instructions five days before your class begins.
We hope you have a great class!
