DSU

Classes- Fall 2010

Dr. Weinstein teaches a variety of courses in writing and web design. In particular, he is very interested in the ways in which computers can help people think and act more creatively. His courses, which are offered in the College of Arts and Sciences' DAD, ENM, ProTechComm, and English Education programs, as well as the General Education curriculum, tend to be highly interactive, internet-based courses that combine, along with weekly class meetings conducted in real time on the web, assignments students can do at their own pace.
