Hello and greetings...

A student asked after class about what text I am referring to if I mention or write the word "handbook." What I am referring to is the Rules of Thumb textbook/handbook. Just do not want to cause any confusion.

And a few reminders:
1.
Your first Q and C is due on Friday. You will be submitting TWO commentaries, one for the poem, "Arturo," and one for the prose poem, "Flies." All commentaries must be a minimum of eight sentences in length. They must be typed, double spaced and Times New Roman font. Refer to your course outline, class notes you may have taken, and the sample Q & C homework I distributed in class and posted on the blog.

2.
As you will note on your course outline/syllabus, you have a quiz on Monday, Sept. 10th based on pages assigned in Rules of Thumb. Please read through the pages and become familiar with the content as well as the layout and organization of the text. It is an open book quiz, but you will not have the entire class period to complete it, so please come prepared by having already perused the pages assigned.

3.
In these first few weeks of college life and adjustment, there will inevitably be a LOT of information you will be "digesting" in all your classes. Be patient with yourself but establish good study habits immediately. If you do not have a planner, get one! Read ahead in every class syllabus you have and manage your study time in your planner.

4.
For this class in particular, keep current with the blog and ask questions when you have them.

See you Friday! :)
