Writing 102 Mon-Wed

Note to class: on Monday, we will be in the computer lab at the library. I think it's L112. On this date, meet at the classroom first. On Wednesday, we will be in the computer lab in N41, 8:40-9:45. Go directly to the lab.


Wednesday

We discussed research paper topics and then went to the library to work on online citations.

To do for next class:

Work on getting 10 sources/citations for your research paper.


Monday

The instructor returned writing samples with comments on what she wanted students to work on and also with suggestions for the research paper.

She explained the process for doing print citations in MLA and, using the doc cam, showed how to set up the page for the library session.

We went the library and started with a book citation with two authors. We then moved on to doing an encyclopedia citation and a newspaper citation.

At our next class session, we will go to the library and do citations from the library's databases.

Next class:

Students should be reading and researching for their research paper. Keep bookmarks of all research that seems promising. An upcoming assignment calls for 10 citations, annotated (summarized).
