Here's the scoop as we wrap up the year:
We will meet on FRIDAY, May 6 at the usual time to do course evaluations and a few other things.
Your final paper is due at noon on MONDAY, May 9 on your blog.
We will meet in our classroom during exam week, even though you will not be taking a graded exam. We are required to meet once during exam week, so we will be gathering to play a Jeopardy! game to review all the fascinating things learned this semester. Attendance will be recorded just like in any other class. Section 3 will meet at 10:30 on THURSDAY, May 12 and section 4 will meet at 10:30 on TUESDAY, May 10. We'll probably meet for about an hour.
Any questions? Email me! ehenderson@ithaca.edu
Thanks for a great year!

Class Cancelled Monday
Same deal, guys. I need more time to comment on your narrative drafts, so I'm cancelling class tomorrow, Monday, May 2. Feel free to get started on your revisions as soon as you have comments on your blog. The due date for the final draft of your narrative argument is extended until noon on Monday, May 9.
See you in class on Wednesday. This will be a writing day, so bring any materials with you that you need to work on your revisions. You should also bring your notebook.

Joe's Paper for Wednesday
Section 3: Because Joe Walker has had trouble posting to his blog, I have posted his narrative argument under Course Content on Blackboard. Please access it there and be ready to workshop it on Wednesday. You do not need to post comments on his blog, but you should write him an extensive note on his paper.

Rebuttals & Rogerians Graded
At long last, grades for all rebuttal and Rogerian arguments have been posted on Blackboard. As I mentioned, I have not posted comments on your blogs in most cases. If you have questions about your grades or want to discuss your revisions, feel free to visit me during my office hours.
The grades you'll see are numerical equivalents of letter grades (A is 95, A- is 92, B+ is 88, etc.).
I will now turn my attention to posting comments on your blogs in response to your narrative drafts. The final draft of this paper is due on your blog on the last day of class, Friday, May 6.

Class Cancelled Wednesday; Paper Deadline Extended to Thursday
Two bits of good news for you this week!
1. I've decided to cancel class tomorrow (Wednesday) -- no, not because it's 4/20. As you know, I'm egregiously behind in my paper grading, and for that I'm very sorry. So I'm declaring tomorrow an official grading and writing day. I'll work on grading your papers, beginning at the end of the alphabet this time and working my way backward. I will be grading your rebuttal and Rogerian arguments at the same time. In order to expedite your grades, I will not be posting comments on your final drafts. If you have any questions about your grades, which you can check on Blackboard, you may of course come to my office hours to discuss them.
2. I am extending the deadline for the first draft of your narrative argument to noon on Thursday (4/21). This way, you can have a little extra time, but students will still have access to papers 24 hours in advance of our first narrative argument workshop (see the post below for details). On your own time, please post a reflection on this draft; we won't have time to do this in class on Friday.
See you Friday!
