Class Materials for May 14-15, 2024

For this week...

I've had almost a complete computer meltdown last weekend so I'm a bit behind. I think I've responded to everyone who's sent me an outline. If I haven't sent yours back then write again.

If you are even close to ready to do a presentation then bring copies for yourself, me and the other students and have at it!

Feel free to write me by email if you are unsure if you're ready (you're ready).

We will  also discuss the paragraph we did a couple of weeks ago and academic presentations and maybe some writing exercises.

See y'all in class

This week - More Opportunities to Discuss your Academic Presentation!

Due to the existence of a dumb, phony holiday on Wednesday.... once more on Tuesday I will be having office hours for people to discuss their academic outlines. From 11.30-13.00 in 119B. And then in 216B from 15.00 to around 15.30...

I will also be holding consultations on academic topics/outlines on Wednesday from 11.30-14.30, also in 119B.

So that's lots of time to come and see me and discuss your presentation!

To discuss your academic outline either send it by email or bring it printed.

I'm strongly hoping that we can begin academic presentations next week (and I will be heavily pressuring people about that).

See some, maybe many? of y'all in office hours!

 

 

Class Announcement for all Groups for April 30, 2024

This week, instead of class I will be holding office hours in 119B from 11.15-13.15 (and in 216B after 15.00).

Students from all groups are encouraged to come to talk about academic outlines as I am hoping to start Academic presentations during the week of May 14-15.

In addition, I will soon send you scans of the paragraphs you did last week (via email) with the request that you type them and submit them to the usual place (there will be a separate post about this later).

Please send your outline (preferably by email) and/or have it on paper when you see me.

So see some of you tomorrow and everybody have a great May long holiday weekend!

Class Materials for April 23-24, 2024

This week we will be doing another writing exercise.

Also, everyone is expected to have, either on paper or in a form they can send to me by email (not a pdf), a first draft (it can be _very_ basic) of their academic outlines or should be prepared to talk to me while others are working.

See y'all in class!

 

Class Materials for April 16-17, 2024

 For this week, first you'll need this.

We'll also go over the supporting details and conclusions you supplied from last week.

If you have not submitted that yet, then do so before class at the link below the jump (click where it says 'Czytaj więcej'). 

If anyone can send (very) provisional academic outlines to me by email (or post at the same link below) before class that would also be welcome.

 See y'all in class!

Class Materials for April 09-10, 2024

This week there's nothing to download because we will be doing writing exercises!

You will need the download link for after class. It is below the jump (click where it says 'Czytaj więcej').

Also hopefully... several people will have preliminary versions of your academic outlines (and those who haven't yet will give me you academic topic sheet). 

Here is the exercise:

So you should end up with three or four supporting details for the topic sentence you choose (not from your group) and then a conclusion and post them at the link below.

See y'all in class!

Class Materials for April 03, 2024

Sorry about last week, but, yadda yadda yadda....

Anyhoo, I'm back this week and better than ever!

So....

For this week you'll need this on our exercise last week.

We will be continuing to wind up general interest presentations

You'll also need to bring this, filled out and printed. Even if you've sent it to me, please print it out as well so that I don't have to.

See y'all in class!
