This message is directed at the Tuesday evening class regarding my absence on March 3, 2015. If you are in the Thursday evening class, you should expect that class WILL be held as usual unless something to the contrary is posted here.

TUESDAY EVENING CLASS

Simply put, I'm sick.

For anyone who I haven't yet conferenced with, I will review your essay on turnitin.com over the next 48 hours and leave detailed commentary there. That will take the place of our in-class conference. To review this commentary, log into turnitin.com and access the essay that you submitted. It will contain notes at the end and throughout the text. Also, look for a microphone icon. Clicking it will let you listen to an audio commentary -- but if I don't stop coughing, there won't be an audio commentary.

For everyone, Essay 2 draft version will still be due in class next week. Read the syllabus to get the prompts for Essay 2. If you lost your syllabus, it's available on the right side of this page. Submit the Essay 2 draft the same way you did for Essay 1 (grading rubric, essay, turnitin receipt, staple). The final version of Essay 1 will consist of everything you turned in with the draft PLUS the final version with all revisions marked. There's no need to resubmit Essay 1 to turnitin a second time.

Bring a scantron 882-E and pencil to class next week for the Jane Eyre exam and see the post previous to this for remarks about the exam.

Again, no deadlines are being changed for either final Essay 1 or draft Essay 2.

We'll discuss later what will become of the O'Connor short stories, but we definitely won't discuss them next week.

See you next week.
