The meeting time for English 110, section 5 is incorrectly given on the English Department website.  Class meets on MWF from 2:10-3.  Course topic is “Writing (and Reading) in the 21st Century”:

A recent study of writing by undergraduate students at Stanford University concluded that Stanford students are spending more time than ever writing (and reading).  Nonetheless, concerns about how digital technologies like text messaging are eroding literacy skills—especially the literacy skills of students–are ubiquitous.  So what does it mean to read and write well in the twenty-first century?  What consequences has the digital “revolution” had for writing and reading?  What has your experience been as a reader and writer in this digital age?  How have digital technologies mattered to practices and conventions of academic writing?  How do digital technologies figure into the other reading and writing that you do on a daily basis?  The readings for this course will explore these questions and others about what it means to be a writer and reader in the 21st century.  You will also be asked to bring these ideas to bear on your own experience, and to do so in a range of print and digital genres.

Add/Drops for all sections of ENG 110 are handled by our Department Secretary Mrs. Riefehstahl in Pardee 316.
