Corrections, Quiz, Blog, Etc.

Hi everyone,

It was just brought to my attention that the student copy of the text "Writing in Academic, Professional, and Public Contexts" has a confusing layout that incorporates non-sequential chapters from two separate textbooks. I don't know why the publisher did that, and I agree that it's confusing. To clarify, the reading for this week appears in the book as "Week 4," which covers _not_ Chapters 4 & 5, but rather Chapters 6 and 14. The readings are on pages 119-166. I apologize for any confusion. In the future, the quiz will just be over the reading listed for that week, whatever chapter's those may be. Week 4 is about research in your academic field.

Also, the web administrator posted the wrong assignment for Blog 4, something about a travel brochure. If you did this assignment for your fourth blog, that's fine and you will get credit. However, I took that assignment down and posted the correct one, which corresponds to the discussion that begins on p. 514 about correcting professional correspondence.

The quiz will open this evening and I will leave is posted until Saturday to give you an adequate amount of time to do the reading in case you read the wrong assignment. Again, I apologize for any confusion. I am out of town for the week, but available via e-mail, blog, and Skype in the event that you have any questions.

Thanks!

Courtney
