End of Semester Schedule

We have five class sessions left. All of our focus will be on the final assignment: reflection (what do you think of your issue), research (finding at least three scholarly sources), writing, revising, and editing your 5-page essay. 

Because students are legitimately pressed for time at the end of the semester, I've decided to devote considerable class time to working on this assignment.  

Monday, April 22: Introduction to MLA-formatting & work-time.

Wednesday, April 24: Work-time (attendance mandatory).

Monday, April 29: Work-time (attendance mandatory).

Wednesday, May 1: One-on-one conferences. Sign-up for your slot. Finished draft mandatory. No regular class meeting on this day. 

Monday, May 6: Paper due 30 minutes before class starts. Upload to Populi. Brief presentations by each student (five minutes, Powerpoint optional).
