One requirement for signing up for this section of English 111 is that you must have an e-mail address. If you do not have an e-mail address, connect to www.hotmail.com or www.juno.com to receive a free e-mail account. You may e-mail me to ask questions and to send me assignments. I also have access to Microsoft's Netmeeting for audio and video real-time discussion, if you have similar access capabilities. Please make use of my updated ICC website for new postings and to review assignments.
Not only will e-mail facilitate teacher-student interaction, but I also encourage student-to-student interaction through your e-mail accounts. As a correspondence class, we are required to meet twice during the semester. During our first meeting I will collect all of your e-mail addresses and we will all have each other's e-mail addresses. This is a vehicle to ask each other class questions and help each other with the assignments. Even though this is a correspondence class, expect to spend much of your time in the ICC library or in your local library to complete many of the initial research assignments.
On-Campus Meetings
Our first meeting on August 28 will be in room 308A from 5-5:50 p.m. In this initial meeting we will complete some in-class writing, distribute e-mail addresses to each other, and discuss the nature of this course. Our second on-campus meeting will be for you to turn in your Argument essay final draft.
