Class time was occupied by the Diagnostic Writing Exercise, a short writing assignment offering the following prompt: “One motto of Schreiner University, that long displayed at the main entrance, is ‘Enter with hope. Leave with achievement.’ With what hope do you enter Schreiner? Why do you harbor it? How do you think to enact it?”
