Good luck

Good luck with finals and other work!  Take care of yourself and be sensitive to people who may be emotionally vulnerable at this time. GPA is not as important as it may seem to you now. Do your best, support your friends, and take care of your body, mind and relationships.

I'll be in my office 3-6 today.

Questions for the email

Include a brief self-evaluation in the email with your essay:

What is distinctive about your writing?

How has your writing process changed, if at all? What would you like to change, if anything? Consider how you generate ideas, write rough drafts, revise, use readers, copyedit, and approach to deadlines.

What we're doing today

We're working on the near-final drafts, doing the course evaluations, and maybe sharing a final freewrite. If you're cramming for an exam and need to miss, I'll understand. Turn in essays by email by the end of Friday or soon after, and please do the course evaluation.  I need over a certain percentage (60% I think) for the data to be "valid."

12/4/12

For Thursday

Bring the current draft of your proposal for copy-editing in class. I'll bring juice and pastries.

I just learned from the registrar that my grades are due a few days later than in past semesters, so there is a little wiggle room in the deadline if you need it. I know many finals are scheduled this week instead of finals week.
