After offering the instructor’s introduction (which works with materials found here), discussion turned to the course syllabus (ENGL/THRE 3333 Syllabus Revision). Noted also was the student choice regarding the FinEx to come. 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 7 September 2016)
• Discus 2 (to be completed online before the beginning of class time on 14 September 2016)
• PProp (due online before the beginning of class time on 14 September 2016)

Please note that there are substantial readings to be done for next week. Attending to them early will be of help.

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

Class met as scheduled, at 1435 in Weir 109. The class roster listed six students enrolled as of 0915. All attended, verified informally. Student participation was good.
