Some of you were unable to complete the Attitude Survey because of issues with your Kean Email. If you had trouble logging on - you should call the Office of Computers and Information Services (OCIS) at 908 737 6000, or visit them in person. For the location of the office go to: http://www.kean.edu/~ocisweb/index.htm . Please complete the attitude survey as soon as you can log in.
You also sent me an email about your process for writing in-class essay exams. These emails indicated a wide range of approaches - which is great. We are clearly going to do some learning from each other!
I apologize for not giving you a chance to introduce yourselves - to each other and to me. We will catch up with that on Tuesday.
Homework for Tuesday:
1. Read the course syllabus & calendar + send me an email stating that you have read it. If you have questions or concerns, include them in this email and we can talk them over in class. The Subject for this email should be: LastNameSyllabus.
2. Revise your in-class essay. I will be evaluating this version of the essay and will give you feedback on how well it matches up with the standards for college writing. You will turn in the revised essay as an attachment to an email sent to ENG1620HonorsEnglish@gmail.com. The subject should be: LastNameDignosticRevised.
3. Read Chapter 1 in The Bedford Guide for Writing Tutors: "The Writing Center as a Workplace." Come to class prepared to state, in your own words, the main ideas in this chapter.
What we will do in class Tuesday:
We will introduce ourselves properly, address questions & problems about the syllabus, calendar & using this web site + talk about the assigned reading. We will also talk about academic summaries - and talk about strategies for writing different kinds of summaries.
Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday!
