Required texts and materials
Readings will be available through electronic reserve on the Bromfield Library web site. Unless otherwise instructed, you should print out, read, annotate, and bring your readings to class. Post your reading blog at least 12 hours before class starts, please.
Because we will be working with large computer files, you will need a USB 2.0 Flash drive with at least 1 GB of storage space.
Attendance
You must attend class regularly. If you don’t, it will affect your performance and your final grade. Class participation includes coming to class prepared, keeping up with the readings, participating in class and group discussions (oral and written), and completing assignments on time. If you miss three or four class meetings without acceptable excuses, your grade will be lowered; if you miss five classes or more, you cannot pass the course.
Please, please come to see me if you are having problems. I (may) give extensions, but only if you ask me long before the due date; I will not give extensions the day an assignment is due. This applies to all presentations, papers, media pieces and the final portfolio of your work. If you find that you must miss a class or a scheduled conference with me, please notify me in time to make other arrangements.

The Writing Center
The Writing Center (C-201, C-211) promotes writing as a way of learning both within and beyond the university. Its services are free to all students, staff and faculty. Consultants offer feedback on your work at any stage of the composing process, and many of them are proficient in digital media, so please take advantage of their helpful responses on your drafts and revisions.
Accommodations
If you have a disability and need particular accommodations, please feel free to discuss the issue with me during office hours. Students with disabilities who need accommodations should also contact Michelle McLane in the Conard Learning Center (755-4304) to arrange for documentation and a variety of other services.
