ENG 030 and 060 Final Grades

My final grades are due on Mon., Aug. 13. However, I expect to have them posted by the 8th or 9th.

ENG 060 July 19

We reviewed the descriptive paragraphs in class and wrote more description. We also covered commas and semicolons.

The final will be in class on Thursday, July 26.

ENG 060 July 17

We started working on descriptive paragraphs (for a favorite food) and covered end punctuation and adverbs and adjectives. Rough drafts of the paragraphs are due Thursday.

ENG 060 July 12

We finished covering verbs today, including subject-verb agreement and active and passive voice. We also worked on writing descriptive words. The next paragraph will be a descriptive one. Your first paragraph, along with the drafts, is due next Tuesday.

ENG 060 July 10

Today we revised the first paragaphs in class and started discusing verbs. For Thursday, please revise your first paragraph, "type" it into the MLA template (ENG 060 Files), print the paragraph, and bring it to class on Thursday.

Continue working on the Eduspace exercises. Skip the one on conjunctive adverbs.

ENG 060 July 5

The midterm was given in class. If you were absent, please contact me about making it up.

For next Tuesday, write a draft of a paragraph on any topic with the topic sentence at the beginning, middle, or end. The paragraph should be well developed (at least five to seven sentences) with variety in the length and types of sentences.

ENG 030 July 3

Midterm in class on Thurs., July 5

ENG 060 June 28

We reviewed the types of sentences and started working on sentence errors: fragments, comma splices, and run-ons.

I've rescheduled the midterm. It will be given in class (not in the testing center) on Thursday, July 5.

Remember that points will be deducted for each absence after the first two.

ENG 060 June 26

We spent more time today on the kinds of sentences. The next two Eduspace exercises (Sentence Issue Exercises: Kinds of sentences and Grammar Exercises: Relative pronouns) need to be completed by Thursday.

On Thursday, we'll start on sentence errors: fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences.

ENG 060 June 21

We continued to practice identifying parts of speech, as well as subjects and verbs in sentences. We also talked about the four kinds of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.

Tomorrow or Saturday, I will be recording the scorse for the first seven exercises in Eduspace, so if you want to redo them, you have to do it today (Thursday).

ENG 060 June 14

We finished previewing all the parts of speech and practiced recognizing them in sentences. We also looked at subjects and verbs in sentences. The first seven exercises on the checklist (a new handout) are due by Thurs., June 21.

ENG 060 June 12

We started talking about pronouns.

ENG 060 June 7

We looked at the class blog and Eduspace. We talked about nouns and spent time in the LARC trying to get everyone enrolled in the WriteSpace course.

ENG 030 and 060 Eduspace Registration and Login

I've added a link to Eduspace in the righthand column on this page. In order to register to use Writespace, you will need the passkey from the Student Getting Started with Eduspace Guide that came with your textbook and this course code: CLARK-B2654A3A9B97A8.

ENG 060 June 5

In class, we went over the syllabus, introduced ourselves, and completed a writing sample and a pre-test.
