End-of-Term Celebration!
Please plan to come to the English Department’s gala end-of-term celebration and potluck dinner Monday, December 9, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Pebble Hill.  Plan to bring either an entree, snack, or dessert, and celebratory cheer!  For those of you who are new to Auburn, Pebble Hill is located on Debardeleben Street between Glenn and Magnolia. It is an historic building that houses the University's Center for the Arts and Humanities. (Go east on Magnolia; Magnolia ends at Pebble Hill.)

To All Great Books Teachers...
After you have administered your final exams, please submit to Constance Relihan's mailbox the following materials from each section of Great Books that you teach, all clipped together into a nice tidy bundle:

Please note: if you are teaching multiple sections of GB, please submit a copy of the paper assignment sheet and final exam questions with EACH student's work. (E.g., if you teach three sections of ENGL 2200, you should submit three separate packets of materials, each one containing a paper assignment sheet and paper, and the final exam questions and answers).

Please remove all names from papers and assignment sheets to preserve your anonymity and that of your students.  Submit all materials by Monday, December 16.

Composition News
Please take advantage of or assist the Comp program in the following:

• Take advantage of the WebCT Composition Program resource available to all faculty members.  You will find sample ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1120 exams that might be useful in planning your own final, but feel free to use the ones posted verbatim as well.
• Send to Kathy McClelland materials you've used in ENGL 1100 or ENGL 1120, especially this past semester, to serve as resources on the Composition Program WebCT resource site.  Paper assignments, peer review materials, mini-lesson materials, and anything else you have you would be willing to share with other faculty are welcome.  Electronic versions can be e-mailed in the WebCT environment or to Kathy McClelland, or you can leave a paper copy in her mailbox. Disks are welcome, too, and will be returned promptly.
• To provide feedback about the usefulness of the WebCT Composition Program resource site, please complete the brief (6 question) "Usage Survey" on the homepage if you've used the site at all.  If you haven't used the WebCT Composition Program site yet, please take this opportunity to spend some time browsing the site and completing the survey, too.  All responses are anonymous.

The site's redesign will be completed and new materials posted before the beginning of Spring 2003. The more feedback given, the more the site can be tailored to your needs.  The more materials submitted, the more resources all of us have to use.
