English 222 Schedule

Fall, 2015

Tentative Overview

After each date below you'll find a reading and possibly a writing assignment due for that day. You may also see a summary of tentative class activities. If you miss a class, please check this schedule, read through any new Power Points in Blackboard, and contact a couple classmates for full notes and instructions. Then see me if you have specific, informed questions.  (You're expected to be prepared for each class meeting, whether you missed the previous one or not.) You may contact me by email, but please clearly identify yourself, and the course and assignment in question:  Cindy Nichols.

Note: this schedule is flexible. You will need to check it regularly for updates and changes. Details are added throughout as we progress through the term.
