What we did today – Students compared the essay they wrote for Classwork 15 to the essay rubric to see how to improve their essays. (Sections 87, 89 and 90 did not meet today since all classes scheduled for after 2:00 p.m. were canceled due to graduation.)
Bonus Credit
- Students can earn a 1% bonus credit for attending Night in the Library on Wednesday, December 14. The first event in the series is a screening of Guillermo del Toro’s new film Pinocchio. (Click here to view the trailer.) The program will start at 5:30 pm on the first floor mezzanine inside the library and conclude at 8:00 pm. To receive credit, students:
- Inform me in writing via email by Sunday, December 11, at 12:00 noon that they will be attending,
- Must be on time,
- Stay the entire time,
- Not have their mobiles visible at any time during the event, and
- Write a one-paragraph summary of the film.
- Students were reminded that they can earn up to 5% extra credit by attending Writing Lab tutoring sessions (½% credit for each 30-minute session, with a maximum of 5%.). To schedule an appointment for tutoring, send the lab instructors an email requesting an appointment. (Their email addresses are in the syllabus in MyGUST.) It is suggested that you send a screenshot of your schedule to enable them to find a time that is convenient for you and for them. Also, you must let them know which section you are in.
What we will do on Tuesday, December 13 – All classes will meet in the Library’s computer lab to write an in-class essay, which is worth 20% of the course grade. (Those students who normally go to the Success Center for assessments will instead come to the Library’s computer lab with the rest of their classmates. They will be given additional time as part of reasonable accommodation for them.)
