English 201: Grades Are Updated in Desire to Learn

If  you’re concerned about your grades for the semester, check Desire to Learn.  You should have a grade for paper 1 & 2, homework 1 & 2, and quizzes 1 – 3.  If anything looks amiss, get in touch ASAP so I can get the error corrected.

You should have received graded versions of these papers, homework assignments, and quizzes; if you’re missing any of them, stop by during office hours to pick them up.

English 201: Reminders from Class on October 27

Before you come to class on Thursday, October 29, make sure that you’ve completed these tasks:

1. Complete the short writing assignment about the example student essays.  (Wherein you determine which essay is a value project and which essay is a policy project and explain how you could determine which is which.)  I’ll collect this on Thursday for a quiz grade.
2. Finish up the pre-writing assignment.  (You make a list of the claims you’ll need for your argument.)  Save this work because we’ll expand on it in class on Thursday.
3. Catch up with all the reading for the unit.  We’re low on quiz grades, so you should expect a quiz about the readings on Thursday.

All of this information is available on the PowerPoint from today’s class as well as the reading and assignment schedule.

Thanks for you hard work.  If you have any questions, email me at Adair.Olson@BHSU.edu.
