SCHMOLL'S ENGLISH 305...WELCOME TO THE COURSE BLOG.

As an online course, the writing that we do in English 305 is substantially different from a face to face course. As such, it is imperative that you understand the course style from the start. Nearly all of your work in this course will be posted on the course blog. EACH WEEK YOU WILL HAVE THREE BLOG ASSIGNMENTS:
1. A BLOG ENTRY,
2. A READING, AND
3. A WRITING ABOUT THE READING.

Your reading and writing on the blog must be completed by the Friday (by midnight) of the week in which the reading falls. You have all week each week to complete the reading and writing for that week, but there are no late assignments accepted, so be sure to be disciplined about the work from the start.

Let me re-state that point; if you do the assigned work before or during the week it is due, you will receive full credit. If you do the work after the Friday of the week it is assigned, you will get zero credit for that week.

Grading Scale

GRADING SCALE:

Weekly Blog Entries: 10%

Tipping Point Essay Final Draft: 30% (ROUGH DRAFT DUE OCT 28) (FINAL DRAFT DUE NOV 4)

WEEK TWO WRITING ABOUT WHAT YOU READ:

RESTAURANT REVIEW: (20%)
Go to any restaurant in town. As you eat, take notes on the ambiance, the food, and the service. You may choose any restaurant (from Taco Bell to Café Med), but you should use this writing assignment to explore your descriptive capabilities. Use sound, touch, taste, smell, and the look of the food and surroundings. The review should be approximately two pages in length, BUT YOU MAY CHOOSE TO WRITE MORE THAN THAT. You may use the first-person in this review.

This assignment must be emailed to me as an attachment by Friday, September 23
YOU ARE NOT PUTTING THIS ONE ON THE BLOG BUT ARE ONLY EMAILING IT TO ME.

    Matthew,
    Through some strange magic, the date is now correctly written and says the 23rd. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, because yes, the Restaurant Review is indeed due on Friday, the 23rd!
