Rhetoric-y goodness Feb 27

I hope everyone's reading week was tres splendid. For class on Tuesday we're going to be discussing (as requested) different research techniques. For this particular class there will be no readings ahead of time. However, I do want you to think about research projects and where you gather what types of research from (ex when do you use encyclopedias? When is the internet useful?) Again, this class is directly applicable to your research essay and will do ntohing but help you along, so please show up ready to participate.

Readings for Feb 13th

There are no readings for class on the 13th. However, attendance has been pretty lax lately, especially in the AM classes. I want to stress that each of these terms are worth ten percent of your mark - continued absenses can drop you at least one, if not two or three, grades. Not only that, but the activities we are doing in these workshops directly apply to what you're doing in the actual lectures. For instance, this week we are talking about generating essays out of research questions you know little about/aren't too thrilled for. You'll be using this skill for years to come.
Again, you're only hurting yourself by not showing up.
Hope everyone had a good week, see you Tuesday.
