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!
