Dear students:

Welcome to Fall 2014. We will be using our blog as a forum for written communication and as resource for course-related information. You will find information such as a general outline of what is taking place in class/what will be due in the upcoming weeks, PDFs and links of select handouts and extra materials of interest to you, as well as the course syllabus should you lose it.

I recommend the following:

• A Gmail account to make it easier for you to interact with and sign on to our blog, which is powered by Google.
• That you save your log in and password somewhere accessible so you are not delayed when assignments are given if you forget your information.
• That you "follow" the blog. It will make it easier for you to find the link.That you write the web address accurately in your notebook for use at home. (Note: http:// without the "www")
• Students have sometimes run into glitches and lost their carefully thought out responses. Copy, cut and paste information from Word into the comment field of our blog just in case there is a problem in the posting process .
• That you read your comments for coherence, spelling and logic, making sure it applies to the questions asked.

Wishing all you a successful semester,

Angela Zeitz
