English 33:

WEEKLY COURSE SCHEDULE:  Week 14 

Note: Don't forget to mark you calendars for tonight, Friday, May 2 for Poets & Writers' Reading in Forum 100.  This will start at 6:00 pm for refreshments; the reading will begin at 6:30 pm.  The booklets with both semesters of work are $3.00, which I highly recommend; also, bring some money for refreshments.  For more information about Poets & Writers, see our website.

Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd email a friend or two about this class, which will be offered again in the fall semester.  In addition, if you've enjoyed the class and found it worthwhile, would you post a comment on ratemyprofessor.com  Students often check this website for information on potential profs, and it can be a good way of learning about an instructor.  However, so far, no Eng. 33 students have ever posted on this website.  Thanks for your help in making next semester's workshop a succeess!
