Assignment for Thursday, February 9, 2012 Class

Dear INGL 3104 Students:

Your assignment for Thursday’s class is to look for three articles related to the topic chosen in class.  Print the three articles and bring next Tuesday.  Read them before this class so you can have a clearer idea of how will you focus this essay.

You can obtain the article by going to Revista or Colecion Puertorriquena.  You also can use the database EBSCOhost. If you wil be using this database from your home, visit the Library (Reserva) and ask for the instructions to access the database from your home.

Those that have the textbook, continue reading the Chapter on Cause and Effect.  I will try to leave the chapter in Reserva tomorrow.  I will post it when available in the library.

See you on Tuesday!

Remember to post in comments that you read this and any post that is in the blog.  This is the way to keep attendance and participation.
