Instructions for Thursday December 12: VERY IMPORTANT--COME TO E228 AT 11:45

HELLO WORLD LIT STUDENTS--

Please come to E228 at 11:45 (computer lab) on Thursday December 12.  Our purpose is to upload your research essays to ePortfolio.  

You will need to bring the essay in digital form (send it to yourself or bring flash drive).

If you sent me a digital copy this week, I returned it via email with comments.  I have written to those of you who gave me a hard copy last week indicating that I will leave your essay in my mailbox (E103) at about 2pm this Monday, December 9 (tomorrow) in case you wish to make final revisions for Thursday.  Some of you have a little work to do on documentation--worth doing to improve your grade!!  If you did not hear from me, there is no need for revision.

I will be checking the uploads to make sure everyone has deposited and cannot assign your grade until your essay is uploaded.

In addition to your research essay, you should bring your final essay exam to our Thursday meeting.  Don't forget!  This is the last day we meet.

I will probably be putting in the grades on Friday, December 13.  I will let you know what time I will be in my office in case you wish to stop by to receive your grade.

Thanks for being a really thoughtful class and for your good insights and strong writing!

Thank you for writing such great essays this semester.  It was a pleasure to read them and to get your insights into the literature :).
