Welcome to ENG 102!

Welcome to our class! Three classes of ENG 102 will be sharing this web log -- two MWF classes (10 AM and 11 AM) and my late Wednesday afternoon class (4:00-6:50 PM). Even though you are not required to come to this blog, this space will be used to create a resource to let you know what is going on in class -- and to supply you with information. You will notice that the "Slide Share" program at the bottom of this blog contains important handouts from class. Make sure you look through the handouts carefully to find the one you might be looking for (i.e. there are obvious schedule differences between the day and the evening classes).

If you sign up for a free account, this blog also becomes a place where you can ask questions and participate with other folks in ENG 102 for Fall 2011.
