Class #4 post-game

Today's discussion was excellent... you guys were really on point, and I think we sorted some things out.

Please don't be afraid to ask questions in class, and please come to office hours! I'm literally just sitting here doing nothing, so if you want extra help on your paper, all you need to do is take a little initiative. All of the students who came to my office hours consistently last quarter got higher grades, because they got their specific questions answered and they got more hands-on learning. It's not that complicated.

REMINDER: Finish ideas draft. Yes, you can repost it to EEE. Is it "graded"? Not really; I believe that draft submissions accounted for 3% of the writing grade in my section last quarter, so technically Ideas Draft #4 counts for about half of 1% of your writing grade. (Completion only.) But that's practically nothing... your main motivation should be working toward a better final draft, and the more work you can do now before your other classes get more demanding, the better.

REMINDER: Read Alberti's On Painting (pgs. 39-40). This should be available at the campus bookstore now if it wasn't before. If you want to get a further head start on Alberti, the official assignment also included 63-85. Read what you can; we'll catch it up once we get a better handle on Shakespeare.
