Month: November 2023

A few reminders to finish up the semester:

Remember, your “Ecstasy of Plagiarism” project is due Tuesday, December 5, by noon.  Just slide it under my office door at HUM 553 by the deadline (along with any other work you may need to surrender).

Remember, I will turn off text annotations on Tuesday, December 5, at noon.  If you want to add some more annotations – – get them done before that high noon.

As you may have heard, SF State administration has chosen to terminate about 150 instructors for Spring 2024.  This means that several hundred class sections will be missing from the Spring 2024 schedule.  Some colleagues have put together this (anonymous) survey to gauge how these massive cuts will affect students.  If you get a moment, please visit the survey here.

I will be on strike on Tuesday, December 5.  I invite you to participate in the festivities at 19th and Holloway.

Friends, it’s been a true pleasure to share Tuesday afternoons with you.  Keep reading and thinking, and keep on truckin’!

Due to unforeseen strike action, Tuesday will be our last day of class.  Remember, your “Ecstasy of Plagiarism” project is due on Tuesday, December 5, at noon.  You can drop off the assignment at my office in HUM 553.  Bring any questions you have about the project to class next Tuesday.

Don’t forget: due to disruptions from the APEC event, we’ll be meeting online via Zoom on Tuesday, November 14.  (Check your email for appropriate links etc.)

On Tuesday, let’s talk about the final project for the class – – our “Ecstasy of Plagiarism” assignment.

For Thursday and Tuesday, let’s read the following short stories from In Our Time: “A Very Short Story,” “Soldier’s Home,” and “Cat in the Rain.”
