After addressing questions from the previous class meeting, discussion asked after student progress on the StratRdg, the RV of which was due via D2L before class began. Discussion then turned to the assigned readings, working to come abreast of the course calendar. The assignment sheet for the T&S was distributed, as well.

Students are reminded of the following due dates:

• StratRdg FV (via D2L before class begins on 5 February 2016)
• T&S PV (printed hard copy at the beginning of class on 15 February 2016)
• T&S RV (via D2L before class begins on 19 February 2016)

Students are also reminded that classes meet in Edmon Low Library Room 206 on Wednesday, 3 February 2016. Office hours will be held in the library that day, as well; a note to that effect will be posted on the instructor’s door as a reminder.

Additionally, the Dean of Arts and Sciences and the Head of the English Department both ask that students be advised of the upcoming Oklahoma State University Career Fair. Events on 3 February 2016, from 1230-1630, will focus on students majoring in Liberal Arts, Business, Communication, Design, and Social Sciences fields. STEM fields are featured on 4 February 2016. Arts and Sciences students are especially encouraged to attend; Career Services is making an outreach effort, and it would be good to see that outreach met. The Dean notes in an email that “Students who want more information, or to schedule appointments with [the Arts and Sciences] Career Consultants, can be directed to www.hireosugrads.com.”
