ENG 102 MWF Classes!

On Monday we will be talking about the Annotated Bibliographies (don't forget that there is an example of this in your assignment packet). We will also review the Project Proposal that is due on Wednesday. In order to work on those Annotated Bibs, we will spend the rest of the week working on MLA citations so .... be sure to bring the pocket guide I asked you to buy (or the book that you used for 101 that had MLA information).

See you folks on Monday!

See Me ASAP If You Don't Know Your Topic!


OK, the deadline is here! You need to know your topic NOW! For the MWF classes, we will be working with your potential topics in class today and the rest of the week (for those of you in the Wednesday class, you have until Wed, of course, to figure out your potential topic!).

Today we finish up our conversation of Scratch Beginnings (Yeah! A whole book finished!) On Wednesday, the librarian will visit all the classes and inform us of the new and old electronic databases that are available for student use here at SWIC. We will then work on our "Library Scavenger Hunt"!

So let the search for articles start!
