Lindsay and Katie

Off to a good start- Winter 2012

My classes are off and running and everyone seems like they are on board.  My grad class is probably the most intense as we have three time periods to cover (19th century, early 20th and current). Lots of reading and lots of discussion, but I think the class is ready and willing to delve into the texts and engage in discussion. My English 328 has 20 students, and we too have lots to cover. We're starting the first project which analyzes authorial style in expository prose. Students will be bringing in the texts they've chosen next week. That should be interesting, especially because the choices are so varied. Lastly my freshman (or freshers for the non-gendered noun) are busy formulating their first drafts which are due on Monday...yikes!
