Paper Two Revisions

s10eng101tt — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:11:37 +0000

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

s10eng101tt — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:35:42 +0000

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.
