The local record marks this base ID fall-only while the current department schedule lists the parallel introductory course under 01:351:212, so availability must be verified.

Do well in it
Common pitfall
Treating creative practice and observation as a list of terms
Instead
Connect each term to the course question, evidence, and an example.
Common pitfall
Ignoring the audience or context in reading and form
Instead
State who is affected, what decision is being made, and what constraints matter.
Common pitfall
Leaving workshop and revision until the end
Instead
Use staged practice and revision so the final work reflects feedback and course goals.
