Thanks for a good semester

Here we are at the end of Fall 2008 already. I'm looking forward to reading your final papers.

A couple of last-minute things:

1. The deadline for turning in the final paper has been extended to 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 15. Papers must be stapled together and have a title page listing your name, my name, the course title (EN103) and the title of the paper. I will only except final papers by e-mail in cases of emergency.

2. A reminder about attendance. If you missed more than two classes this semester, even for an illness or emergency, your final grade will reflect it. Likewise, the handful of students who failed to do oral presentations on the final project will see that reflected in their grades.

3. I can be reached by e-mail or cell phone if you have last-minute questions. If you've lost my personal contact info, call me at The Leader-Herald: 725-8616, Ext. 250.

4. If you'd like feedback on your final paper (either in hard copy form or via e-mail), let me know.

Have a good winter break, and best of luck in the future.

In the home stretch

Next Wednesday, Dec. 10, will be our last class meeting of the semester. Any students who have not yet given oral presentations on their final projects must do so that night.

See you then.
