After asking about questions from previous classes, discussion treated student progress on the Prop. It also began to review the general preface and introduction of They Say, I Say, the readings that had been assigned for completion; review took the form of noting basic rhetorical concepts to frame further discussion.

Students are reminded of the following due dates:

• Prop RV (electronically before class begins, 3 February 2016)
• Prop FV (electronically before class begins, 10 February 2016)
• Explore RV (electronically before class begins, 24 February 2016)

The section met as scheduled, at 1300 in North Classroom Building Room 311. The roster listed nine students enrolled, a loss of two since the previous class meeting. Eight attended, verified by a brief written exercise. Student participation was adequate.

One student attended office hours since the previous class meeting.
