Since this is the first week, there are a lot of things that we need to cover. This means that these lectures are longer than most lectures this semester will be. In the videos below, I cover how to join our OpenLab course site, the syllabus, my background, rhetoric basics, and the first weekly writing assignment.
You will want to review the syllabus and look at the schedule on it for the tasks that need to be done this week. This includes watching and note taking on the lectures, reading and note taking on two assigned readings, and completing the first weekly writing assignment.
