March 6
We went over the differences between academic and public libraries. We also discussed research institutions and teaching (pedagogical) institutions. The instructor told students there would eventually be a quiz on the research section of the class.
We checked in sources and the instructor told students which sources to get next (see "Next Week").
We worked out the schedule for getting the chapters done in Langan. The instructor will issue an assignment sheet for this.
Next we did a worksheet on comma splices. We went over the corrections in class.
Next week:
--Do two chapters in Langan for Monday.
--Read Chapter 1 in Lester for Monday
Additional sources to get for research paper:
--one source from Lexis Nexis
--a book from the library
--a definition from a specialized dictionary or encyclopedia
When completing Langan chapters:
Read one chapter for each class.
On the following Mondays, read two chapters: March 9, 23, 30, April 6, 13, and 20.
March 3
We chose topics. The list of students/topics is under Links at left.
Students were informed they can return their book and get Sentence Structure. They do not need a receipt if they buy the new book.
Next class: bring two-three article on topic.
