Argumentation Revisions

Folks-

As we discussed yesterday in class, I would like your argumentation revisions by Tuesday night at the latest. I want our focus to be on the final paper after that. Thanks!

New York Times On GMOs

Folks-

Those of you writing your argumentation paper on GMOs might want to check out this recent New York Times article.

Plagiarism Tutorials

Folks-

Lauren Pressley, a librarian friend of mine, recently put together a nice post chronicling a number of plagiarism tutorials you might want to check out if you are still having trouble with citation.

Google Docs

If you have a Google account, your Google Docs account now accepts any kind of file. Might be a useful alternative for storage/backup/etc.

Office Hours Cancelled

Folks-

Office hours for today are cancelled. I will be around after class for about 30 minutes if you need me. Study your grammar!

Five Websites Undergrads Need To Know

Prof Hacker on five websites undergrads need to know. Some useful links in this post.

Skype

Folks-

A few students have recently asked whether I use Skype at all. I do and have set up an account specifically to speak with students. My user name not surprisingly is professorwend@gmail.com

I will sign on during EOffice hours and by appointment.

My Publication

Some of you have asked about my recent publication which I have referenced from time to time. It is now available to read online.

Paper Two Revisions

Folks-

I have emailed back the final batch of Chapter Three papers to you. There are some concerns I have about this batch, but we will discuss it in class when we return from break. Revisions for this paper will be due the Thursday after we return from break (25th). I have amended our schedule to reflect this.

I won’t be on campus at all this week, but I will be checking my email at least once a day. Get in touch if you need anything.

Public Safety/ICE

Folks-

This posted isn’t related to English, but it is almost as important. My friend over at Prof Hacker recently posted about adding campus security and an ICE (In Case of Emergency) listing to your cell phone. In case of emergencies in the class, or on campus, it is important to be as prepared as possible. Adding these numbers to your phone takes a few minutes and could save a life one day.
