books

It looks like the bookstore has run out of books. Make sure you let someone at the bookstore know so that more copies can be ordered. Remember that you can also get Rules for Writers 7th Edition other places, such as Amazon. The EWRT1A Reader is only available through the bookstore, so if you need a copy you must tell a bookstore employee. If you don't have a copy of the reader yet, please send me an e-mail telling me so that I can help you with the Freire reading for Tuesday.

Fall 2012 EWRT 1A section 65 syllabus

Here is the syllabus for EWRT1A-65.

Fall 2012 EWRT 1A section 27 syllabus

Here it is in pdf format.

EWRT1A sections 27 and 65

I'll be posting pdfs of the syllabi for both classes by Monday. But just so you know, the books are in the bookstore. Here are the required texts…

• EWRT1A Reader. This is a print-on-demand reader only available at the bookstore. There are only enough copies for both classes (30 in each). This is the main reader for the class.
• Rules for Writers, seventh edition by Diana Hacker and Nancy Sommers. This is the writing handbook we will be using for the class.
• Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. This is the novel we will read the last few weeks of class.

I was by the bookstore today and I noticed that whoever stocked the books put all the copies of EWRT1A Reader on the section 27 shelf. So students from section 65 should get their copies there.

See you all Tuesday!

no De Anza e-mail

De Anza is changing the way it handles e-mail. The upshot of this is that I can't receive e-mail right now. Eventually, I'll be able to to, but right now leave a comment here and I'll get back to you.

EWRT1A-62: grades have been submitted

I submitted the grades this morning. I don't know when they'll be available for you to view, but soon.

The above picture is from the first day of class. These are the lists we made of what makes a good essay and what things you felt you needed to work on.
