After the conferences of last week, discussion asked about thoughts regarding the C/C. Time was also spent in formal discussion of the FinEx.

Students are reminded of the following due dates:

  • C/C FV (online before the beginning of class time on 7 December 2016)
  • FinEx (in person during the assigned exam period: 1030-1230 on 12 December 2016)

Class met as scheduled, at 1000 in Weir 110. The class roster listed 20 students enrolled, unchanged since the last class meeting. Seventeen attended, verified informally. Class participation was subdued. Office hours figures are set off by last week’s conferences.

Updated Comments about the Spring 2017 Instructional Term at Schreiner University

In order to ensure that I can remain available to help the students at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, I have accepted an adjustment to my teaching schedule for the upcoming term. Instead of the schedule I initially report having for the term, I will be teaching two sections of ENGL 1302: Literature & Composition–Sections 02 and 03, MWF 1000 and 1100, respectively. While I would have liked to have been able to teach the History of the English Language class, outside factors have made that option currently unavailable; those students who signed up for the class specifically to take it with me should be assured that qualified faculty will handle the course.

I apologize for the adjustments that my shift in schedule will require and hope that I will continue to be able to be a benefit to the Mountaineer students.

  • FinEx (in the regular classroom from 1030 to 1230 on 13 December 2016)
