Since the essay is on blackboard I'm assuming it's timed? Do we have to be on our webcams to take it? Will there be a set time we have to start the essay and how much time will we have to take it?
ReplyDeleteInstructions will be up on this blog and emailed to you MONDAY! You will have to log into Blackboard on the 14th and I think you have till the 17th to finish!
DeleteSince we have 3 days to take the test are we supposed to do a first and second draft like for the other essays then?
DeleteI will post all the info by the end of the day! I am still figuring it out myself!
DeleteThe way you run your lectures and class is very different from other english professors that I've had, is there any reason or inspiration behind why you TEACH your classes instead of just giving us assignments to read, write and hand in?
ReplyDeleteMany professors want to impress other professors by writing books or giving lectures for professors at professional conferences, and teaching students is just to pay the bills. I don’t care what other professors think of me. I like to think out loud about my favorite books and movies and I like to do it with students because students say lots of smart things in class that help me think better about my favorite books and movies.
DeleteThanks some of the vocabulary on these talking points helped me write my essay for the finals.
