English 1102

Class Agenda (updated 08/24/2010)

This calendar is tentative. Timeframe and dates are subject to change during the course of the semester. The preparation

column shows reading and homework assignments that should be prepared for that day. All chapter reading is available

through the library's course reserves. Other homework may be assigned in class. I reserve the right to update this

schedule in order to make any necessary changes. Please check the agenda regularly to be sure you are keeping up.

You may print out a hardcopy; just be sure you keep up with any changes made on your own.
