Happy New Semester
This blog is where you can find news about what is going on in class. If you miss a class, or forget what is due or coming up, you can check here. Please be aware that I have 3 classes, and updates for all of them will be on this blog. So, info for the Mon-Wed class will have either a mon or wed date as the title, and the friday class will have a friday title, and thursday a thursday title.
I will also post your writing assignments here, in addition to handing them out in class, and any other assignments. So if you lose the piece of paper I give you, you can come here and find it. And there is a link to your syllabus here, so when you lose the one I just gave you, you can come here and reprint it, and not have to go through the embarrassment of asking for another.
BOOKMARK THIS ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY, SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE IT WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR SYLLABUS!
