Reminder: No Classes on Monday

There are no classes this Monday due to the observation of the Presidents' Holiday.

The Writing Center

The Writing Center is open for your students to use its services M-TH 9-4 and F 10-2.  It it located in the Ed Bldg 184.  Tel.278-0334. www.csufresno.edu/writingcenter.

Twenty-five well-trained tutors are available this semester to help student writers at any stage of the writing process:

 -understanding and getting started on assignments: Students can come even before they have done any writing. Tutors will help them understand the demands of an assignment, review the knowledge they have, brainstorm and set them on the way of writing a draft
 -expanding, clarifying and re-organizing drafts: Once they have a draft (no matter how skimpy or provisional or rough), tutors will give writers feedback on what works and what doesn't, and will help them negotiate revision
 -correcting and polishing final drafts: At the last stage of the writing process, tutors will prioritize and point out patterns of grammatical or mechanical errors and help writers learn how to correct and avoid them.

The Writing Center has three kinds of services:

1.    semester-long group tutorials—for those students who will have a lot of writing assginemnts and/or who want to learn in small groups how to read and evaluate drafts, give and receive feedback, take their drafts through multiple revisions, etc. These tutorial groups provide deep, semester-long learning that affects students’ behaviors and knowledge as writers and readers. The time to sign up for these is during the first weeks of the semester (before 2/13)
2.    walk-in and by-appointement one-on-one tutorials—these are offered throughout the semester and help students with particular assignments
3.    on-line tutorials—students submit their drafts and receive comprehensive feedback via email

Reminder - Final Exam

Don't forget.  You may take the final exam on Monday at 2 PM in room 191 PB (UBC) or Wednesday at 3:30 PM in our classroom.

If you are re-taking the Investment Problem section from Exam 3 you must bring and turn in Exam 3 to me before you retake the Investment Problem.  You may use an index card for the Investment Problem only.  The Investment Problem re-take is not a requirement.

As announced in-class, the final exam will cover chapters 10, 11, and 12.

This Monday's Class: Special Annoucement

We will be having a guest speaker this Monday and we will meet in room 194 PB.  Room 194 is in the University Business Center (UBC) wing of the Peters Building.  The topic will be commercial real estate in Fresno.  Please be on-time.

Also, if you missed class last week, you need to contact a fellow student ASAP.  We covered a lot of material and you need to be practicing the Investment Problem this week.  Just a heads-up.

No office hours this Wednesday

Due to a couple off campus appointments.  No office hours this Wednesday.

Multiple Choice/True False Questions

Thanks for posting the multiple choice and true-false questions as we cover the material.  This is must better than waiting until the last minute before the exam.  Good work posters.
