If you are reading this, and you are enrolled in English 102: English Composition II at Southern Illinois University for the Spring semester 2009, and if you are in Keegan Lannon's 102 classes that meet at either 1:00 or 2:00 on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, then you are in the correct place.
This is the mothership blog. Here I will, from time to time, write responses similar to those I assign you, my diligent studentship to write. You can use my examples to determine both the length and level of engagement I want from your entries. But for right now, I want to say welcome.
A couple reminders:
1. Make sure that you create a blog address, and make sure that you email this address to me through Blackboard. This kills two birds with one stone for me: it proves that you can access Blackboard, and know how to do simple tasks therein; it also gives me the address which I will attach to your name for grading purposes. Therefore, you can see this is an essential thing to do, and to do soon.
2. You should have the books by now. Please check the course description, available through Blackboard, to see which ones you will need. Especially important to the first half of this class is Everything's an Argument. You need this for the first Wednesday of class.
3. Try to enjoy yourself. I know 102 is akin to having all of your teeth pulled with only local anesthetic and some crappy movie on the TV in the operating room, but the more you try to enjoy this, the more likely you are to get something out of this.
If you have questions, your best bet is to email me through Blackboard. If you can't do that, then see me immediately after class, and I will try to help as best I can.
