On the first day of class, we will spend part of the class getting to know one another and planning how we are going to do our work together for the rest of the term. I'm hoping we can spend some time glancing through the readings in your text book and talking about which units are most interesting to you. That way, you can have some input into the course content. So if you get a chance - buy your textbook and we can look through the readings together on our first day of class. You will then spend the rest of the class writing the course diagnostic (a sample of your writing so you have evidence of where you were as a writer at the beginning of the term.)
I will use this blog to keep an ongoing report what we do in class, to let you know about any changes in what we will be doing in class (that is different from the calendar), and to post course documents and readings. We will accumulate these posts/documents as we move through the course.
I am looking forward to getting to know you, and I am excited about reading your writing. This is one of my favorite courses to teach. The course email is ENG1031@gmail.com (the address I used to send you the link to this blog). If you have questions, please be in touch!
This is the book. There are many editions. Make sure you get the edition with readings and a cover that looks like THIS=>
