In the Age of Online Writing

This fictional Internet-Age Writing Syllabus and Course Overview had me laughing out loud.  A highlight:

"Students will learn time-saving tricks, like how to construct an 800-word blog entry in 30 seconds using a simple news article and copy-and-paste. And, as an exercise in the first-person narrative form, students will blog intimate details about their lives, their studies, and their sexual histories (with pictures), with the intent of being linked to by gossip sites and/or discovered by future employers."

Enjoy.
