I will post an updated semester schedule soon; currently I am making my way through midterm essays, of which you will receive back on Tuesday.

Here are the three main tasks that remain for this semester:

  1. Complete the research essay
  2. Revise essays and complete your writing portfolio, a collection of the writing you have done this semester
  3. Take the two-part final exam: part one is to write a summary of a short article, and part two is to write a short essay in response to the same article you see in part one

On a separate note, if you’d like to volunteer to help clean up after Hurricane Sandy, you can join New York Cares and sign up for a clean up event. Or, if you are too busy during the semester to volunteer, you can do volunteer service after the semester for many of the other causes New York Cares addresses. Tomorrow I am going out to Flatlands/Floyd Bennett Field to help volunteer with an effort out there.

Have a good weekend and check back soon for more updates.
