ENC 1102 Spring 2007 Tentative Calendar

Required Textbooks:

The Bedford Handbook, current edition.

A good dictionary.

You are responsible for reading each module for the specific assignments in each one. This calendar is available to help you arrange a study schedule and keep track of important dates. I recommend that you put the due dates on this calendar, in the Drop Box and on the Quiz page on your own personal calendar so you can plan a schedule for yourself.

All dates in the class are final and non-negotiable. If you miss a deadline, for any reason, you will receive a 0 on that assignment. Excuses such as “My computer crashed,” and “the server was down,” are the modern versions of “The dog ate my homework.”

Before you begin, I suggest you

• Familiarize yourself with the class.
• Print out this calendar, the quiz page, the dropbox page, and the Modules so you have the information in case the server is down.
• Visit the Homepage of the course and note my office hours.
• Read the Survival Tips and the Top 10 Practices for practical advice related to the course.
• Update/get your SJRCC library card to gain access to library information. You can get your card online from the Library homepage.
• Take the Information Literacy tour available to you from the Library homepage.
