We are going to workshop the Toulmin essays and return to WLTC. The essays are due Thursday via email and if the presentations need reworking, then those students can present.

We will practice writing the Rogerian essay on Thursday as a freewrite. It is in our book. We have already discussed it.

Pay attention to details. Do not send me drafts. I will not be giving students line by line comments for anymore essays. Learn from your errors and do better. I will not spend one to two hours with a student going over grammar and mechanical errors: 15 minutes max coupon for one time use.

English 5 and English 211 students are expected to have certain skills and if you don't possess them, I would have hoped such writers had made use of the free support services available on campus here and throughout the campus.

Certain students have a relationship with me going back years, like Javier. He knows my style and he is a competent writer, and since I have known him as a writer over the past two-three maybe four years, we have a sort of shorthand communication. The same is true for Quan and Frena, but this is not the case for the majority of you.

I am a hard taskmaster and I do expect a lot, but I don't think I am unreasonable and I am pleased with the work of those of you who are still here (smile).
