We will meet in room MB-11 at 1:00 p.m.
Bring with you to class today:
1. Two copies of a reflection paper on Mc Henry: Chapter 7. Feel free to comment on any of the ideas in the reading, but also consider the following issue:
Do you think that the three (or four) C's that McHenry suggests are sufficient advice to guide us in avoiding being misled and misleading one another? Why or why not? Do you implement them in your own writing and speaking and deciding? Which of these three modes (knowing courageously, carefully, and conditionally) do you think you practice most often? Which least? On the basis of your observation of other students in your classes, which do you think they most often need to be reminded of? Why?
2. Bring with you a print copy of a source (a periodical article, book chapter, or Internet source) that you might use for your next essay. You don't have to write anything about the source, but you should have read it and be prepared to explain.
Note: Next week is spring recess; there will be no classes. However, your working draft of essay 2 will be due the day we return, so if you are planning to travel over the recess, make sure that your working draft is largely finished before you leave. Don't plan to write your essay the Sunday before we return. Plan ahead.
Complete the following writing by Monday, March 30 (and bring it to class):
Your working draft (WD) of essay 2. Review the format and requirements for working drafts. Bring two (2) paper copies to class and upload it directly to the Pluto server at Palomar by ftp. See the FTP Instructions for how to do this. If you have any problems with ftp, let me know about them and get them resolved before this working draft is due.
Remember: The working draft is a step in the process of developing a finished essay. You have not failed in any way if your working draft is deeply flawed as an essay. You have failed completely if you don’t submit a working draft by the time it is due. It is an essential step in the process of developing an essay. Skipping that step is not an option. The working draft is required work. So remember: It doesn’t have to be "good," but it does have to be here, in the readers’ hands and on-line, when due. The minimum length that will be accepted as a working draft is 1,000 words.
Reminder. You should have completed the following reading by today:
Mc Henry: Chapter 7.
You should have completed the following writing by today:
