Office Hours For 12-14

Folks-

There will be a class in ACAD 201 on Monday morning, so I am going to have to move my office hours. Most likely, I will be either near the couches on the second floor of the ACAD building or in the faculty lounge on the third floor.

Final Papers

Folks-

I have received your final papers. I graded and returned a number of them last night and this morning; I will finish the rest later today.

Articles

Here is the link for the articles. Hopefully it is fixed now!

This one should work. I figured out what was wrong and, hopefully, fixed it.

The really cool news: I now have a voicemail/office phone number. You can reach me during office/e-office hours at 609-836-0641. During other hours you will be prompted to leave a voicemail for me.

Journals/Poetry Exam

Folks-

I am in receipt of your completed journals. They will be sent back to you today or tomorrow. Remember: your poetry exam is on Monday! If you have any last minute questions, please come see me in my “office” in the large computer lab from 9am-11am.

Remixed Syllabus

Folks-

I have uploaded our updated syllabus on the sidebar. The schedule tab above has also been updated to reflect the minor changes we made to our coursework.

The First Paper

Folks-

I am in receipt of your papers. If you did not receive an email confirming its arrival you will be getting one in the next few hours as I comb through my email. Expect about a week before I begin sending back your papers; I will also be including your midterm grade in my note to you.

Paper Requirements

A number of students have asked questions about the format for your papers. Your papers should always follow the most recent MLA style (7) in use. Please make sure your papers are:

• Typed
• Titled (underlined and centered)
• Page numbers in top right corner (Last Name Page Number)
• Double Spaced
• One inch margins
• Include a separate works cited page

If you have any questions or need further clarification please see me or send me an email.

The Lottery Podcasts

Folks-

Here are some new media resources for The Lottery:

• About a year ago, A. M. Homes, who wrote the introduction for the most popular anthology of Jackson’s stories, read The Lottery for The New Yorker’s monthly fiction podcast. There is a good discussion following the reading. (Link)
• Joyce Carol Oates joins the New York Review of Books literary podcast to discuss her recent article for the NYROB about Jackson. (MP3 Link)

Syllabus Update

Folks-

On Friday 10-02-09 instead of the scheduled lecture on characters we are going to be reading book 23 of The Odyssey instead. I will handout photocopies of the Fagles translation during the week. Your syllabus has been updated on this website.
