Make sure to remember that we are starting our class in the library (LI 207) on Tuesday, so go there first. Make sure you bring the ENGL 2010/2020 Worksheet (it is called the Research Study Guide in the syllabus) with you. It must be filled out completely! You can get it by going to http://www.uvu.edu/library/tutorials/index.html.
You also need to do the reading in AB so that you understand the things we’ll be talking about.
Finally, your Informative and Surprising Teacher Draft is due Tuesday (by 11:59pm).
Basically, you need to send me an email and attach the following to the email:
Teacher draft and peer draft in one document (the peer draft should be after the teacher draft). Make sure you name it: “<First> <Last>_Informative and Surprising_Teacher Draft.<ext>”. Make sure to change the <First> and <Last> for your name and <ext> for the ending your word processor uses – see the handout (linked above) for details.
Cover letter (letter format) that says how you’d like me to comment on the paper and grammar and where you respond to the peer reviews. NOTE: If you fail to change something a peer tells you to do and don’t say why (and you should have), I will subtract more points than if you had a reason for not doing it. Make sure you name the letter: “<First> <Last>_Informative and Surprising_Cover Letter.<ext>” (changing the <First> and <Last> for your name).
Your source text (if it is not a PDF, either send the link to the web page or copy and paste into a document). Use the following naming convention: “<First> <Last>_Source_<author last name>.<ext>” (again, change out the stuff in angle brackets for the appropriate information).
Garrett, should our headers be on every page or just the actual paper part?
Garrett replied on February 1st, 2010:
not sure what you mean.
Are we supposed to go to the library before class to have the worksheet filled out for tuesday?
Garrett replied on February 1st, 2010:
You can, or you can access the library from off campus (all you need is your UVID and password).

Are we researching for our next paper with this assignment?
I can’t seem to get the truncating with an asterisk to work? I’m supposed to type part of the word and then put an asterisk right? so instead of autism I would type autis* instead of autism or autistic?
Garrett replied on February 1st, 2010:
It depends on where you are searching. That would normally be correct, but some databases use a question mark instead of an asterisk, and some don’t do wildcard searching (that is what this is).
