Public Speaking 129

We went over the syllabus, with each person reading a section. The syllabus will be posted for student download off the Student Links page at left.

Students exchanged names and contact information.

We took a brief break.

The instructor passed out a green citation guide from the library called "UCC Libraries Citation Guide."

Next we broke into pairs and each person interviewed a colleague for purposes of writing an introduction. The instructor showed students how to construct an introduction outline. Students composed their outlines and then we delivered the introductions.

Next class:

1. Read citation guide (green). Also read Ch. 17 (online) (scroll down).

Writing 102 Friday Evening Class

Exercise for Friday Evening Class:

Convert MLA citations to APA.

First the instructor will go over differences in MLA and APA.

The instructor will provide you with a citation sheet in MLA. Using the materials provided for you, as well as your text, re-write the citations as APA.

Print out two copies: one for the instructor and one for you for your files.

You will be provided with a copy to check against when you return to the classroom.

In addition, you must convert several in-text citations to APA. Change citations on several pages of your paper to APA. Add this to the above Works Cited/References and turn it in.

If you are unable to complete this assignment in the time allowed, you may finish it and email it to the instructor by Monday.

Turn in:

one copy of the citation sheet you converted to APA

one-two pages of internal citations in APA

Note: I do not want you to turn in any MLA citations. I already have them.

Writing 102 Thursday Night

We had poetry roundtables conducted by Kedza, Khalil, and Estaban.

We did an exercise that required converting an MLA Works Cited page to an APA References page.

The instructor returned research papers and all other papers that were in her possession.

This was the last class. There is no final, as the research paper is the final.
