Office hours Monday, 1 February

I've spent the day hoping the streets in front of my home would get plowed, but my wife is just back from a walk in the neighborhood looking at the streets and stopping by the neighborhood grocery.  

It looks as if the interstates are plowed, but secondary and neighborhood streets are still only, at best, snow-packed.  I suspect this will translate into refreezing overnight and dangerous driving tomorrow morning, during my regular office hours; so, I'm going to keep virtual office hours as usual from 8:00-1:00, but I am going to keep them from home.

You can call and speak with me by calling 804-885-3727; you can email me at sbrandon@reynolds.edu, or you can IM me at prof.brandon@gmail.com to get in touch with any questions you may have.  If there is an a need, I will come into campus, but--unless asked--I will only be available from home to help.

Week Two Assignments are Hot

I've activated the link for the second week's assignments.

This week, we will continue our discussion and introduction to rhetoric and rhetorical analysis.  We will continue to discuss the rhetoric of King's "Letter."  You'll get some practice taking notes toward a rhetorical analysis, and you'll get a chance to apply what you are learning to your own life.

Welcome. How to get started.

Welcome to the Announcements/Home page for our section of College Rhetoric and Composition II, ENG 112 15CP.  More important, welcome to the class.

This spring promises to be productive and fun learning experience.  This is a hybrid section; so, we'll meet face-to-face almost every Thursday, and you'll be practicing the craft of writing--the craft you are learning--the other half of a traditional face-to-face class. This is an ideal way to learn Rhetoric and Composition, as the best way to learn any craft is to practice the techniques and theory and to work with your materials as much as possible.  You learn as much or more by doing as you do by reading, classwork, and working with your professor. 

To get started with your assignments, click on the "Assignments" tab above and then on the link to this week's assignments.

At any point, if you have questions about the course, our shared reading, or an assignment, come by my office for office hours or contact me using the various "Contact Doctor B" forms scattered around the course webpage.  My office hours are posted under the Contact Doctor B tab above. 

Doctor B (aka Steve Brandon, PhD)
