Students new to the program winter quarter

Sun, 12/14/2008 - 06:07 — kennedyc

Welcome to iBod!

Students entering Winter quarter have missed some important skill development and knowledge acquisition.  To help you catch up, new students must read chapters 1-3 in Crawley et al.’s Gendering Bodies, which is available in the bookstore. 

You will also need to prepare a prospectus by week two of winter quarter.  This assignment was completed by everyone else during the fall quarter.  You will find the assignment under the tab to the right "Downloadable files,"  It's called - Prospectusfinal - at the bottom of the list. You will need to complete the whole thing EXCEPT THE BOOK REVIEW. Guidelines for how to create an annotated bibliography can be found at

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/

In addition, all students should read Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl for week 1 of winter quarter. (ISBN: 0140437959)

We look forward to meeting you.
