Understanding Ourselves by Ellen Andrews Knodt. This is the main course text, available from the rental library. Occasionally, you will be asked to bring copies of course texts from Individual and Society with you to English. This will be announced in class. A good college dictionary that you can bring to class with you.
Some dictionaries are better than others.
The American Heritage Dictionary is a good one, available inexpensively in paperback from the University Bookstore. If you are unsure if your dictionary is a good one, I'd be happy to look at it with you. A manila envelope or folder for handing in writing assignments. A 3.5 floppy diskette for saving work in the writing lab. Being late is disruptive to others.
