ENGL 1010: Important Notes in Case You do not Check D2L's Newsfeed Regularly (As You Should)!

  • Everyone, there is NO BLOG due before next week! I want you to focus on the final draft of your paper & corresponding imagery. No blog was noted on your course calendar either! Remember to email if you have any questions (for relatively immediate responses- j.d.hanson@hotmail.com).  I have created the dropbox (here through D2L). You must turn your final draft in there & in hard-copy format on time (BY 6 PM CST) or you will not receive credit for your paper! To access this dropbox: login to D2L like normal, select our class in the dropdown menu, select the "Assessment" tab, & select "Dropbox." There you will see the folder "ENGL 1010 Narrative Final Draft." Upload your paper; it MUST be the final version; it needs to be in a doc or docx format (WORD). If you have a Mac, there are programs to swap it over to a word file; however, you must figure that out yourself, or with the assistance of the library.
  • Please make a writing center appointment (register & look for open times Fri, Mon, or Tues if you still feel you need revision/ editing help! There are e-tutoring ones too, but only with Debbie/ Paige. I want everyone's papers to be creative masterpieces/ successful! :) This is the website (as shown last night): http://mscc.edu/writingcenter/index.aspx
  •  Additionally, remember you must turn in the form I gave everyone last night, your final draft, your rough draft(s), any notes, feedback, suggestions other students gave you in workshop groups last night. These HAVE to be in the brad folders I provided everyone the first night of class. If you were absent the first night, get one at DT or Wal-Mart; they are as cheap as 25 cents- $1; put your name on a sticker on the front too! 
  • Also, as it says on the course calendar that you should have gotten your supplemental text (The Crucible- by Arthur Miller) by next Wednesday; they have these in the bookstore; you probably could have gotten them cheaper on Amazon or check out at the library; however, I know a lot of people procrastinate. The first reading quiz will be the following week (Feb. 25th). Do NOT get behind or put off the readings; the quizzes cannot be made up if absent either, & you need to read/ analyze this text for your 2nd essay/ presentation, & blog personally about it. We will be going over the 2nd essay/presentation assignment after the imagery/ summaries of your narratives next week (Feb. 18th). 
  • Please ensure you are ON TIME...Not 2-15 minutes late; respect everyone's time/ presentations. Also, attendance/participation is worth a grade in my class(as noted on the syllabi). We don't have horrible attendance in our class; however, I know people will dwindle off or sporadically show up. Not a good habit (in any class). 
              Have a great weekend!
