yes, that survey
Folks,
Sorry about the survey. We're reworking it so it's easier for you. We really do want you to take this survey, so we can keep making the classes better. The deadline won't matter (as long as it's done by next week). I will get it online ASAP and send that URL out. I am waiting on other people, too, so as soon as I know, you will know ;)

Homework Update
Folks,
Just updated all of your HOMEWORK grades through Deadlind#13 (which was Wednesday evening). Between my birthday and Thanksgiving, sorry I've been MIA for almost 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to SEEING ALL OF YOU THIS THURSDAY IN CLASS.
Please review your gradesheet. If there are any discrepancies, I need to know BEFORE THE CLASS.
Thank you.

Update
Here's an update. Hope things have been well and you're enjoying cooler weather. I finished the last WP#2 or two that trickled in, and I've moved on to WP#3. One class already has WP#3 submitted and the other class should within a week. Do NOT miss this deadline.
The state of MLA on some of your WP#2s was ABYSSMAL. Folks, this is Advanced Freshman Research & Comp. We require MLA, and many of the high schools around here have also. The required texts and readings inlclude how to do MLA as well. So please remember to use it and use it well. If you aren't sure, ask a friend, ask me, or look it up. I will be most critical on that point when grading WP#3.

Gmail 2.0
You may have notices some differences to GMAIL this weekend. Google is slowly rolling out Gmail 2.0, which is faster and prettier. One big difference is a better contacts menu options (which I hope soon includes APIs!). Anyway, what it means to you is if it doesn't work for you, then:
1) Wait a few days to see if it works soon. They are updating things a little at a time.
2) If you want everything to work NOW, then click on the link in the upper left called "Older Version" and it'll resort to what you had a few days ago, and you can do everything you already know.
Have a nice weekend.

A few important notes about WP#3
Folks,
Good evening. Here we are again. I think a few of us got behind due to illness season attacking us all. I've been finishing WP#2 now, and I had a few notes I wanted to make sure I shared with you.
1. WP #3 has absolutely NO PERSONAL PRONOUNS. Some people have been liberal in their use of the "I" in your papers.
2. Research is REQUIRED. This class is based on research (the reason you've been adding to your annotated bibliography, reading differnt points of views, using different systems to gather your information, etc....) So making sure you have research used correcly in MLA format in your paper is important. Also, include your final Annotated Bibliography that correlates to ALL your parenthetically cited sources in WP#3.
Email me anytime with questions.
