Students are required to meet with a writing advisor three times during the term they take Dialogue 1000 and 2000. Ideally, all three sessions are conducted by the same WA, who will meet with Dialogue students at a mutually convenient, pre-arranged time. While we don't promise to ensure an A on all conferenced work, we try to give a few pointers on how to improve both the student's writing as a whole and to their specific project. The Misconception: A lot of people think Dialogue is the evil manifestation of professors born with rocks for hearts. It is also widely believed that Dialogue exists simply to replace English 101 and 102. The Reality: First of all, rest assured: the North Park faculty, both Dialogue staff and regular, have normally functioning organs; furthermore, their intentions, unlike Harry Potter's Professor Snape, are inclusive of the student's best interest. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, Dialogue is not designed as a composition class. While a big part of the Dialogue program has to do with writing, each level (1000, 2000 and 3000) has a different emphasis, fostering discourse and assessment of ethical reasoning.
