For the duration of the course, you will perform at least three significant writing actions per week to this wiki, and link your writing to your "home" page, which you will link to your section's class roster page. This means you will need regular and reliable internet access. Face-to-face section: attend class and contribute to classroom discussions and exercises. Distance ed section: tune in to the wiki, and perform weekly. More than four unexcused absences (f2f) or more than four off weeks (distance) will result in a failing grade. The weekly wiki posts, during the first 10 weeks of the course will account for 100 points, or 33 and 1/3% of your final grade. Unit assignments and peer-grading will tally another 33 and 1/3%, and final projects will fill out the scale.

- hello all - it's Vivian. I wanted to acknowledge everyone particpating in the 3250 wiki and thought this might be the best way. I'm blown away by the talent and creativity that each of you share with me/us. This format of communication is so magnetic because you all share such interesting pieces of yourselves that I can't wait to see what happens next. I just wanted to say thanks to those who have never exposed themselves in this way before. Your bravery is inspiring and your dialogue engaging. And for those of you who have been there, done that, wow, thanks for the encouragement, holding my hand, sharing your knowledge, and the high fives.

I, too, am feeling the pull. Try it, everyone...just cruise the wiki and then use a peer's wiki name as a search term and notice all the connections that present themselves. Jump in, and make those connections explicit! This week, I want us to continue to find patterns of definition and narrative in our writing. If you find a specific revision exercise or peer remix that you want to discuss and dissect in class, drop that link on Monday's course calendar page.

FINAL NARRATIVES DUE MONDAY, MIDNIGHT

Section 799: take your time and notice the cover pages that section 602 students are using to create easy navigation for remixers (this week) and graders (next week). Focus on this. Sign up to remix 3 peer narratives. You'll have all of this week to complete this exercise, which is designed to promote more "freewheeling" interventions on each others' work. Your remix work will count as much as your own narrative. You will evaluate and be evaluated for this total rhetorical performance on the wiki (made easy to navigate by your cover sheet), and this peer-grading process will take place even as we move ahead to the next phase of the semester: selecting into groups, and composing group-written project proposals.
