Class began as scheduled at 0900 in PS 141. The class roster listed 27 students enrolled, unchanged since yesterday’s report. All attended, verified by sign-in sheet.

Discussion asked after questions from previous meetings before critiquing and responding to assigned readings, investigating the application of paratextual features, addressing concerns of shorthand, and treating appropriate deployment of jargon and acronym. Student participation was good.

Students are reminded of several upcoming homework assignments:

• Interview 2, due no later than 2359 on 2 August 2015;
• Synthesis Essay, due no later than 2359 on 4 August 2015; and
• Lab Report, due no later than 2359 on 5 August 2015.

The Lab Report is to be written about the second-week design project, per consultation among the writing instructors. Apologies for the late notice are offered.

Grading of the homework submitted before class on Tuesday is underway. That of Reading Response 3 is likely to follow tomorrow. Students’ patience is appreciated.
