instructor conferences/portfolio/op ed due date/etc

Okay. First, some reiterations: We don't have regular class on Friday, because you each have a conference with me. Please don't be late, so we can stay on track. Also, if you don't show up, it counts as an absence. I'll write out all time slots at the end of this email in case anyone forgets when they signed up.

Also, on Friday at noon author Melanie Rae Thon is coming to do a reading in the library auditorium (1080 HBLL). She is a fiction writer, and from what I hear she is very accomplished. Readings are typically every Friday at noon if you're interested. They've had some pretty prominent authors in the past, and it's always worthwhile. Also, I might be willing to offer extra credit to those who attend some of the readings.

Remember, your papers are due on MONDAY, January 30, at the beginning of class. Please don't be late. I said that I would post a reminder for the portfolio requirements, so here they are:

  • Cover sheet and rubric (take them right out of the Supplemental Guide)
  • Final draft 
  • At least two rough drafts
    • first draft
    • one of the peer review drafts
      • with your peer review drafts, include a paper telling me if you got papers back from each of your peer review group members. Also tell me if their feedback was thorough and helpful
Lastly, here are the instructor conference times:

9:30 Caryn

9:50 Nello
10:00 Kennedy
