After offering the instructor’s introduction (which works with materials found here), discussion turned to the course syllabus (ENGL 2340 Syllabus Revision). Students are advised to familiarize themselves with the syllabus and course calendar, as in-class quizzes may well be taken from them, as well as from assigned readings.

Students are reminded of the following due dates:

• Discus 1 (to be completed online before the beginning of class time on 9 September 2016)
• Discus 2 (to be completed online before the beginning of class time on 16 September 2016)
• Ppr 1 PV (in typed hard copy at the beginning of class time on 19 September 2016)

Students should note that although there is no reading assigned for Friday, 26 August 2016, 1) getting started on the readings will be desirable, and 2) class will meet as scheduled. It will be a lecture-heavy day; note-taking will be advisable, as the materials covered may well be on quizzes and tests to come.

Please note that instructional materials are still being developed for the course.

Class met as scheduled, at 1100 in Weir 202. The class roster listed 12 students enrolled as of 0915. All attended, verified by a brief written exercise.
