I will hand out the course information sheet and calendar. Copies are also available in the Moodle version of this course.
A. On paper, write the answers to these questions about the yellow handout:
1. Copy down my name. (You may call me Mrs. Loden, Ms. Loden, or Ms. Kate. Not a professor.)
2. Read the "Course Objectives" section at the top. Summarize the four goals of this class.
3. Circle the goal in #2 that you think is the most important for you to practice this quarter.
4. How many points is the daybook worth?
5. How many papers (projects) with feedback will you write?
6. How many "solo" projects (papers) will you write?
7. How many "polished" pages do you have to write to skip the final?
8. What do you think an English teacher might mean by "polished" pages?
9. How can you get a zero on a paper?

We discuss.
B. Now, on the back of your sheet of paper, please do some thinking/writing. Explain the difference between a professional and an amateur.
Please remind me to collect these sheets at the end of class!
Homework:
1. Get your books if you have not, including something to use for a daybook and a folder to hold all your graded papers.
2. On the first page in the daybook, write today's date and "Professionalism in __________." Underneath that title, please fill one page with your thoughts on what the difference between "a professional" and "professionalism" is, and what professionalism in your future career would look like.
