To begin, locate your first draft and review the guidelines for the assignment. In light of your experience last term, what revisions would you make? Schedule an appointment to meet with me next week to discuss your PEP. Oral reports: Group assignments (see below). Campus organizations: Below, you will be given the name of an organization and a contact person who is an officer in the organization. Ask the contact person to answer the questions that journalists always pose: "Who, what, when, where, and why?" (Who belongs, what does the group do, when and where does it meet, and why do students join?) Also, ask the contact person to explain why he/she would recommend that other students join. No later than Monday, Jan. 29, send me by e-mail a brief report (i.e., a few paragraphs) on your campus organization. I will compile the reports and bring them to our next meeting. Reading & Writing assignments: After you have read the following articles, choose one that particularly interests you and send me an e-mail no later than 1/22 in which you briefly (i.e., one or two paragraphs) identify the most interesting element in it.

You will be assigned to a group of 4-5 students assigned to investigate and report on a topic that freshmen should know about:
I will schedule a meeting outside class with each group to discuss what goes into a successful presentation and how to go about researching the topic. There will be a single grade assigned to all members of the group based on how thoroughly the topic is investigated and how clearly and effectively it is presented to the class.
Course Grades:
Late assignments will be reduced by a letter grade for each class missed.
Note that by faculty decision, course grades in LinC 100 will be reduced by a full letter for each unexcused absence.
