Your entries should by no means be limited to commentary on the DL readings. Students who do well on journal grades typically have one or more personal entries a day. Your journal is a place for you to write. You will post to the class newsgroup at least once a week. Because some quizzes will be unannounced, I will allow you to make up one missed quiz.
Quizzes occur as needed.
Consequently, access to a computer will be useful. The Park Hall computer labs are available to you in the evenings and all day on Fridays. We will do most of our work with text files, a simple text editor, and the web. I recommend that you bring drafts in progress to my office hours for each paper. In order for us to have productive meetings during office hours, I will need to look at your draft before you arrive.
