mercedes001 asked: Hi professor I am in your hybrid ENC 1102 class on tuesdays and Thursdays, I didn't make it to class on Tuesday and I spoke to one of my group members who was there. She told us that she had to join another group for that day. Now I'm confused as to what I am to do about the conference,do I make an appointment solely for myself or do I find another group?

By now everyone should have started watching Lost. By the end of this week, we should all be at around Episode 8.

So we begin the task of engaging the text by paying...

Tuesday Classes (1/10/11)
Here’s what we we’re working on today:
If you’re in the Tuesday classes, we will do introductions and an overview of the course.
For those on the Tuesday/ Thursday class, we will focus on “Lost” and different ways to “read” the text. We wil will spend time watching some of the show and writing in the notebook. I will also be doing a notebook check.

My sincere hope is that by the end of the term we look back and we see that all of the possibilities and...
