Discovering Ideas

Syllabus: TTh--12:00-1:50

The calendars linked to this page tell you what work you need to complete each week. Each entry for a Monday or Wednesday first indicates the location and time of our class meeting on that day: either room NS-260 or by arrangement (BA) in your editorial groups.  Sometimes we will not have a class meeting but will do our work on-line, and that is indicated in the calendar.

The date (the number itself) is a link. Click on the date in the calendar and you will see a more detailed Daily Assignment page that will tell you exactly what needs to be done by that date, and what is due to be done before the next class meeting, along with links necessary to complete the work.  Online reading assignments also appear as links in the calendars; click on them to go to the assigned work.  Always read the whole Daily Assignment page to find the specific instructions for the day's work.  Always read it completely, the week before, and ask any questions if you have them.

The reading or assignments that follow the > symbol on the main calendar are to be completed by the next class session.  Assignments, such as essays or reflection papers, are listed on the day they are due.  

Sometimes, a link will not be active; some may change as the semester goes on, so always double check. I recommend that you print out the calendars to use to schedule your class work, and possibly work for your other classes as well. But remember that they may change. So always check the on-line calendar at the beginning of each week to see if there have been any changes.  And always read the Daily Assignment page several days before the class meeting and check it again the day before the class meeting. 

Other work will be transmitted to you by e-mail. All reading assignments from the textbooks are chapter numbers, except when they  appear in parentheses. Numbers that appear in parentheses, for any reading, are page numbers. The abbreviation "W" introduces writing assignments. All abbreviations listed in the Syllabus are described in Abbreviations, in the Writing Workshop.  The calendar also lists some significant college deadlines.
