Dear Class,
It is Wednesday of Lesson 1, so you have homework due today! To review what is due today, please go to Lesson 1>"Lesson 1 Main Page">Weekly Overview. You will see what you need to get done by tonight and by Saturday night at 11:59, your time. You cannot post assignments after the deadlines. Do your best to meet deadlines and email me if you feel like your reason for missing a deadline merits an extension (like if you were rushed to the ER). Basically, you don't want to have an excuse to miss deadlines. Please work ahead. . .
Also, I have been reading through your drafts (they are very good!), and here is some course-wide feedback to help you as you polish your love letter:
Course-wide feedback:
1) Make sure you have read the directions and reviewed the rubric for this assignment. Here are the rubric guidelines:
2) You want your essay to earn the "easy" formatting points. Please use Times New Roman, 12 point font, and use MLA formatting, just like the "MS Word For Beginners" presentation calls for. If you don't know how to create this format, revisit the "MS Word for Beginners" presentation. I will be looking for this MLA formatting for the rest of your final essays for the rest of the semester.
3) What about going over or under the length requirement? For this essay, you may go over or under the length requirement without worrying too much about it. For future essays, I'll allow you 100 words of wiggle room--you can be over or under the specified length by 100 words before I will take away points.
4) Look up "Comma splices" online for a quick review of this punctuation problem, and scan your paper to make sure you don't have comma splices.
Finally, I'll be hosting my office hour tonight here at 8 pm, MT. Please come if you have questions for me. I'd love to help.
Sincerely,
Sister Bowen
