College Writing 2 Spring 2014 -- 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!

IMPORTANT

We cannot have good in-class discussions unless each student has 1. the TEXT we are discussing that day; and 2. a copy of his/her HW assignment, to refresh your memory about what you have written.

Therefore, be sure to bring with you to class, every day:

The TEXT WE ARE DISCUSSING THAT DAY and on which you have written your HW assignment;
A PRINTED COPY OF YOUR HW ASSIGNMENT for that day.

If you have either or both of these on a laptop or tablet and bring that to class, you do not need to print them.

Be sure these items are clearly visible on your desk as I take attendance each day. I will take note.

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 Thursday, January 23:
- 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 Tuesday, January 28. Also, make certain you've done the email assignment for Jan. 23.
For Thursday, January 30
