  • Be able to access your LBCC email account.
  • I will return your paper from week one for your feedback and revision.
  • I will also hand out an email assignment that will be due by the end of the week.
  • Be prepared to show me your journal at the beginning of class for a journal check. Please do not use class time to finish your journal as we will be working on other assignments, and for this reason, I am only willing to check journals at the beginning of class. If you didn’t get your journal done this week, you can make it up by writing six pages next week. Journals more than two weeks overdue earn no credit. Remember to write a minimum of three full pages in your journal. If your handwriting is especially large, if you like to place lots of space between words, or if you like to skip lines, then you will need to write more than three pages for full credit.
