Discussion among the four sections of Composition I today continued to address concerns of the Profile, of which the RV was assessed and returned over the weekend.
A survey asking after impressions of the class thus far was noted early in the class; students, please fill it out here. The results will be used to try to improve classroom practice. They will be anonymous as received by the instructor, but students are reminded that a grade is associated with the exercise; it needs to be completed before the beginning of class time on 30 September 2015.
Students should also note that the later office hour, 1130-1220, on Friday, 2 October 2015, is canceled in favor of another meeting with the program chair. The inconvenience is regretted.
Student participation was
- Minimal in Section 025,
- As expected in Section 044,
- Somewhat subdued in Section 084, and
- Restrained in Section 102.
Students are reminded of the following added due dates:
- Profile FV, 2 October 2015 (via D2L before class begins)
- TxtAn PV, 12 October 2015 (print copy at the beginning of class time)
- TxtAn RV, 21 October 2015 (via D2L before class begins)
