Reminders for Wednesday 2/14

Remember: due to the infamous unopenable worksheet and to the fact that many students already worked with the dentist/military ad in the Wood textbook, I have CANCELLED the homework due on Wednesday 2/14. This decision was announced in section 013, and everyone has received an email notification to this effect. Remember to check UT Arlington email on a regular basis.

 We meet in the computer classroom located in the basement of the library during our class time this Wednesday. See you there! Attendance at this presentation counts as a daily grade.

Happy Valentine’s Day! <3

Assignment Clarification

The syllabus states that a “Daily Writing” assignment is due on Monday. As we discussed in class, this will be an in-class writing activity. It is NOT homework for the weekend.

 Homework for the weekend includes:

* Continue to work on your Logos/Ethos/Pathos projects (these are due Wednesday)

* Review and study Chapter 7 of Wood – particularly look at SICDADS and VAM (hint, hint)

Have a great weekend!
