Assignments for Week 1




These assignments for the week will usually go up on the blog on Friday,  to give you an opportunity to plan your next week.   Please don't leave things to the last minute as it is often difficult to know how long a reading or writing assignment will take.


  • Twelve Angry Men vocabulary assignment (due Wednesday) (Groups can collaborate.)
  • Zumo case study - individual proposals -  responses/notes re brainstorming)   (due Friday)
  • Student survey from this blog -- (due Wednesday by e-mail).
  • Rules for Writers  (RW)-- rules 46-49  (due by Jan. 18th)
  • Group Business Case Presentation --  a technology company --  3-5 minutes semi-formal (due Friday)
  • Essay Essentials (EE) -- introduction,  chapters 6 & 7  (due by Mon., Jan.14th)
  • Personal Speaking Assignment (due Jan.15th)

You are in class for four hours a day.   At university in Canada it's expected that one hour of class time is matched  by one hour of personal study -- not necessarily the same day and varying according to assignments and planning.    A workday in Canada is usually eight hours.  A study day is no different.    (If you wish to succeed.)
