Much of your work in the class (and future writing classes) will need to be typed and printed. If you don't have a computer or printer, there are plenty of places available on campus for you to work.
Since I'd like you to become familiar with the Writing Center (Lib 308), my first suggestion is to work there and use their computers. For a full list of where you can go on campus, click on this link. If you need help locating any of these, please let me know.
If you do use a computer on campus, be sure to save your writing on a flash drive or email it to yourself (this is probably the most reliable).
I'll be doing an informal survey on your experience with computers and word processing to see if we should spend a class period on some basic skills in this (that's about all I'm capable of teaching in the area of computers!).
Just so we are clear, printer and computer problems are not acceptable excuses for failing to turn in your work. PLAN AHEAD!! ASK FOR HELP!! I will not grant an extension if you come to class to tell me that your printer wasn't working or that you couldn't open your paper on the computer in the lab (unless I find out that the JCCC network is down, which has happened, and would prevent you from pulling up anything requiring internet).
