An update

Just so we're all on the same page, here's what's coming up in the next two weeks of this course:

1. For the next class meeting (Wednesday, Sept. 23), you will go to the library instead of the classroom. Michael Daly or one of the other librarians will present a session on information literacy. This is one of the requirements for the course, so be sure to attend. If for any reason you cannot attend, you must make arrangements on your own to attend a different session at the library.

2. Don't forget: Essay #1 is due by 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, in my mailbox in Room C-209 (the faculty photocopy/mailroom). If you've lost the instructions, scroll down to read my previous post.

3. For the following Wednesday, Sept. 30, please be sure to have read the two William Zinsser chapters, "Simplicity" and "Clutter," the Steingarten essay "The Omnivore" and the selections from the textbook. You can find the specific page numbers on the calendar I attached to the course syllabus.

I'll see you then.
