We went over the syllabus, with each student reading a sectionwith the instructor occasionally interjecting on various topics. The syllabus was handed out hard copy and a copy is also available online from the links at left.
Next the instructor provided the students with a writing topic and asked them to do a writing sample. For this section of the class, we went to the computer lab in Rm. 225.
In the final part of class the instructor went over the blog, books, and links. She provided the assignment for next week. We also filled out a contact sheet. She handed out a citation guide from the library.
