Discussion across the four sections of Composition I asked after thoughts about the Profile, which was due in its FV before class began, before moving on to explicit treatment of the TxtAn. Students are advised that 1) grading on the Profile FV will not be conducted as rapidly as that of the Profile RV, and 2) a sample version of the TxtAn is available for student use.

Note that the survey discussed earlier in the week is closed. Grades for its completion will be posted as they are compiled, and a report of survey data will be made available once the data have been parsed and at-least-preliminary conclusions about it can be made.

The meeting that had been expected to occur during afternoon office hours today has been rescheduled to Monday, 5 October 2015. The inconvenience continues to be regretted.

Students are reminded of the following due dates:

• TxtAn PV, 12 October 2015 (print copy at the beginning of class time)
• TxtAn RV, 21 October 2015 (via D2L before class begins)
• TxtAn FV, 30 October 2015 (via D2L before class begins)

Regarding meetings and attendance:

• Section 025 met as scheduled, at 1030 in Engineering South 213 A. The class roster showed 17 students enrolled, unchanged since the previous report. Fifteen attended, verified informally. Student participation was relatively subdued, which is not a good thing to see.
• Section 044 met as scheduled, at 1330 in Classroom Building 108. The class roster showed 18 students enrolled, unchanged since the previous report. Sixteen attended, verified informally. Student participation was good and focused.
• Section 084 met as scheduled, at 0830 in Morrill Hall 306. The class roster showed 19 students enrolled, unchanged since the previous report. Eighteen attended, verified informally. Student participation was reasonably good.
• Section 102 met as scheduled, at 1230 in Classroom Building 221. The class roster showed 17 students enrolled, one fewer than at the previous report. Fourteen attended, verified informally. Student participation was adequate.
