For the first class meeting of the session, which was rescheduled due to a recent holiday, discussion focused on introductions to the instructor, the course, rhetoric as a discipline, readings, and assignments.

Class met as scheduled, at 0900 in Rm. 106 of the San Antonio campus. The class roster listed 13 students enrolled; seven attended, verified informally. Student participation was reasonably good for a first class.

Office hours have yet to be decided upon.
