Extra Credit blog post due 4/19

This Thursday, 4/19, you have the opportunity to write an additional blog post or respond to the posts last week if you haven't done so already. A post or response by 4/19 will count as extra credit.

Note, though, that I will NOT be looking at your blogs after 4/19; I will only count whatever is posted by 9 p.m. on 4/19.

I'd like you to reflect on one of the following:

1) The Sun Also Rises

OR

2) Your favorite work this semester (and why)

OR

3) Did you feel that the blogging experience was helpful to you? Why or why not?

Paper 3

Paper 3 graded versions have been posted to Angel.

Exam 2 if you kept a blog and did a report

As stated on the syllabus, if you kept a blog and did the report, you don't have to take this exam and don't have to come to class tomorrow.

If you do decide to take the exam, I will drop the lowest of the three grades (blog/report/exam) when calculating your grades.

Precis grades in Angel

For some reason, Angel is reporting the Precis grades as being out of a total of 100 points instead of 35 points (which is correct). I've tried to change this but can't.

Angel is apt to be highly inaccurate when reporting averages and so on, so always calculate these yourself using the percentages on the syllabus.

Answering identification questions

Here is the exercise we did this morning on answering identification questions: http://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/bhotel.htm

Precis is due tomorrow; Reports will be on Thursday

The precis assignment is due tomorrow. I've added a dropbox for the precis to Angel so that you can upload the assignment if you are using a link to a journal article rather than a photocopy. The same guidelines are in effect as for the papers: paper versions are due in class, and electronic versions are due by 9 p.m.

We will finish the group discussions of Summer tomorrow and move on to the Fitzgerald stories. As I mentioned in class, the reports have been moved to Thursday, April 5.
