ENGL 1102/Spring 2022/Schedule

Introduction	Requirements	Policies	Schedule	Instructor	Reddit

This schedule represents the ideal outline for our study this semester. Yet, like all best-laid plans, we may not be able to keep up with our agenda. Please be flexible and try to look and read ahead whenever possible.

We will do our best to stick by this schedule, but I will inform you verbally, via an email, and/or a literal change to the schedule below whenever there is a deviation. Getting these updates is solely your responsibility. Therefore, this schedule is tentative and subject to change contingent upon the needs of the students and the professor, and dictated by time and other constraints which may affect the course. For face-to-face classes, this schedule reflects only an overview of the assigned reading and other major course assignments. It may not indicate specific class session assignments or activities. Specific in-class assignments may not be reflected on the schedule.

Week	Dates	Assignments
1	1/12–1/18	Class Begins Read the syllabus completely; note any questions you might have. Read Reddit Discussions, create a Reddit account, and join `r/LitWiki`. Respond to the introductory post, English Composition, Spring 2022, on `r/LitWiki » Post`. Upload a screenshot of your Reddit profile page on D2L—this way I know your username (so I can evaluate your work) and see that you have done the assignment. This is crucial as it will indicate that you are attending; failure to do this will result as your being reported as a no-show and dropped form the class. If this happens, you will not be readmitted.
