College Writing 2 Fall 2013 -- Mr Furr

Homework Page

Back to Home Page for this course. Back to Schedule Page.

I will post all writing assignments on this page.. You should create a 'bookmark' of your own to this page, so you can go to it without having to first go to the Home Page for the course.

NOTE: BE SURE TO USE THE PROPER SUBJECT LINE ON ALL YOUR EMAILS TO ME! SEE BOTTOM OF HOME PAGE FOR EXAMPLE!

Be sure to "send a copy to yourself" of ALL your homework assignments!

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

NOTE: You CANNOT print out the readings for our course on MSU Computer Lab computers! This would tie up the computers and printers for hours, and consume tens of thousands of pages.
Print out the readings on your own computer. You will need to buy your own paper and ink cartridges. This is still far less expensive than buying the books.

For Monday, September 9
- send me two emails, from different email servers. One of these servers MUST be the MSU 'mail' server. You must set up an email account for yourself on this server. THIS IS THE EMAIL ADDRESS I WILL SEND ALL EMAIL TO. The second one is only for emergency use.
Make sure that the Subject line of the email messages conforms to the model at the bottom of our Home Page.
Read "The False Gems", and "The Necklace," by de Maupassant. See the syllabus for the URL to these stories.
- Read it at least twice, carefully.
- Print it out and bring it to class, every day that we discuss it.
- Come to class prepared to discuss this story.
- THIS IS A REQUIRED ASSIGNMENT. If it is not sent in on time, you will get an "F" for this assignment.
Do this assignment.

For Wednesday, September 11. Also, make certain you've done the email assignment for Jan. 26.
