Summer School- English 101

Rhonda is back!  This summer, she is taking the first course in the composition sequence, so you can consider these postings a "prequel."  The course is not a research-writing class, but I always include a research component in every major assignment, though the students generally don't realize that.  They think that it's only research writing if you are using books or articles.  For her first assignment this summer, Rhonda had to interview a classmate and write two different profiles of him:  one for the state department of education (for a needs-assessment study), and the other for a recruiting magazine the college wants to distribute.  We'll see how she does this term.
