We will not have a class meeting today. You should have scheduled an individual conference with me for this week. If you aren't sure where my office is, see the Directions.
This is week 7 of the semester. I should have received your weekly e-mail update for week 6 by today.
Complete the following writing by the end of the day tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3:
1. Your revised essay 1. Upload your essay to the Pluto server by ftp. See the FTP Instructions for how to do this. Review the format and requirements for revised essays if you need to.
Please put the word "Revised" at the very top of your revised essay, so that readers can be sure that they are seeing the revised essay and not the working draft. Note that the essay is due to be uploaded to your Web page on Tuesday, not Wednesday.
2. Submit your first essay to Safe Assign, through Blackboard, by the end of the day tomorrow.
3. Your self-evaluation for essay 1. Submit this on-line by the end of the day tomorrow.
Note: You will receive feedback from me on your revised essay by e-mail. It will take me at least a couple of weeks to read your essays, so be patient. After you receive my feedback you will need to correct the errors I identify in the essay as the first step toward further revision. You should complete your corrections within a week of getting your feedback.
Complete the following reading by Wednesday:
1. Two essays, as assigned in the Peer Review List for Essay 1.
2. The Power of Mindful Reflection
The subject area for essay 2 is Thinking. This is just a very general area in which your topic must fall; you should write on a very narrow and specific topic that falls within it. Do not attempt to cover the whole subject area in your essay. There is no value in using the word "thinking" in your thesis, or even in your essay, unless it is necessary to make the point you want to make.
Complete the following writing by Wednesday:
1. Peer reviews of two essays, as assigned in the Peer Review List for Essay 1.
2. A reflection paper on The Power of Mindful Reflection. What about your work as a student makes you more mindful, what less? In what situations or contexts are you most mindful? How could you lead a more mindful life? Please be specific about the characteristics of mindfulness that you experience. Keep the three characteristics of mindfulness in mind as you consider this; don't start thinking of mindfulness as sort of a vague term for "thoughtfulness." Keep your eye on its specific meaning. Feel free to refer to examples and cases from the Light book or your other reading in your response, as well as your own experience.
