WEDNESDAY 9/5

IC101:
Today: Today was a basic introduction day. We discussed the syllabus, the course/semester format, and semester assignments (projects/papers). I will spend some time at the beginning of class on Friday going over any questions you have regarding what we covered in class today. Nice job completing your 2 homework assignments. Gish (did I spell it right?) is pleased.

Homework: If you did not fill out a FERPA form on Saturday, you need to do so on Friday so see me either before or after class. If you did not return your syllabus receipt after class today you need to do so on Friday. Fridays discussion will be about what your biggest fear/worry/concern is regarding your college experience. Please bring this written to class.

IC212:
Today: Today was a basic introduction day. I will work on knowing your names and will hopefully know everyone within the next 2 weeks. I handed out a syllabus, term paper proposal sheet, and topic analysis vs argument paper sheet. I will also distribute a group project/presentation outline on Friday. We discussed the syllabus, course/semester format, & semester assignments (quizzes, term paper/presentation, group presentation). I will spend some time at the beginning of class on Friday going over some of this again and will answer any questions you may have.

Homework: Be ready to discuss the best business (in your opinion) and the best CEO (again, in your opinion). The company and CEO need to be both active, although they do not need to be the same (you can choose a different business & CEO). Have 3 points to back up your choices. Ongoing homework is your term paper proposal. Think about what you want to research this semester. It should be a topic you are passionate about. Possibly a topic related to your major. The proposal is due on Friday 9/28. Your topic needs to be approved by me before you can begin your research. Feel free to bounce some ideas off me prior to the proposal due date.
