Initial Comments for the March 2017 Session at DeVry University

The University notes that I will be teaching a section of ENGL 227: Professional Writing during the March 2017 session at DeVry University in San Antonio. The class meets Saturdays from 0900-1250 in Classroom 110 of that campus; classroom time supplements online instruction that takes place asynchronously through the week. Office hours will follow the class meeting  for those students who feel the need for extra attention and consultation.

A number of standard assignments are already in place. One of them is a set of discussion posts that must be completed each week. Due dates for them are as follows, adjusted to the local time zone:

  • Week 1, online before 0059 on 5 March 2017
  • Week 2, online before 0059 on 12 March 2017
  • Week 3, online before 0059 on 19 March 2017
  • Week 4, online before 0059 on 26 March 2017
  • Week 5, online before 0059 on 2 April 2017
  • Week 6, online before 0059 on 9 April 2017
  • Week 7, online before 0059 on 16 April 2017

Other standard assignments, with their due dates, are as follows:

  • Resume, online before 0059 on 5 March 2017
  • Quiz, online before 0059 on 12 March
  • Routine Message, online before 0059 on 19 March 2017
  • Informal Analytical Report, online before 0059 on 26 March 2017
  • Negative/Bad News Message, online before 0059 on 2 April 2017
  • Course Project (Draft), online before 0059 on 9 April 2017
  • Formal Proposal (Final Version), online before 0059 on 23 April 2017

As usual, reports of class activities will be posted after classes meet, and supporting materials will be made available as needed.

I look forward to the work of the session!
