Dear class,

Thanks for your hard work today.  Next class we have our midterm.  While taking a test is no one’s idea of a favorite activity, I hope you see this as an opportunity to practice the skills we have been discussing and working on throughout our semester so far.

For homework, please read (and re-read) the midterm reading, taking notes in the margins and thinking about how you might respond to the reading in written form.  You should bring the reading, with notes in the margins, to Monday’s class.  Review the handout we used today as well – it will come in handy!

Furthermore, please bring the Nicholas Carr reading to class on Monday. We will be discussing it in Writing Lab.  Remember, you’re expected to have read the whole essay by Wednesday 3/22: it would be a good idea to budget time, over the weekend, to get a head start.

Finally, since I’ve cancelled Office Hours today, please contact me if you would like to speak in person early next week about anything.

Best wishes studying!

sincerely,

Professor Kwong
