English 101, FALL 2016 Tentative Course Schedule of Assignments

This is a “tentative” course schedule, and I reserve the right to make changes as I deem appropriate and necessary throughout the semester. Assignments--readings, homework (HW), essays, discussions, class activities, reflections, grammar exercises, etc.-- appear adjacent to the date they are DUE. Assignments should be typed/double spaced and in MLA format unless otherwise specified (grammar exercises are to be completed in a spiral notebook in BLUE or BLACK INK—NOT TYPED). I DO NOT accept emailed assignments OR late assignments. Discussions and activities will focus on readings/assignments for that week unless otherwise noted. Reflections are to be completed after each class you are present for beginning Week Two. You are required to bring text/readings to class on dates reading logs are due.
