UCB Peace Signs

I encountered these peace signs unexpectedly today, as I was walking across campus.

 

Argument at UC Berkeley

I’m proud of my students this semester in Intermediate Composition: Argument in the Disciplines. This was the first semester the course has been offered, and the students stepped up and built a website about written argument for the student community at UCB. The website (Argument at UC Berkeley) contains papers that the students wrote during the course, as well as advice from professionals and academics whom they interviewed. Students in subsequent semesters will maintain and expand the site.

Here’s a link, if you want to check out the site: http://argument.berkeley.edu/

Drat bCourses

Preparing for the upcoming semester is taking much more time than usual because I have to figure out how to use bCourses instead of bSpace to build the course websites. I have lots of material in html format, designed to display online, and none of it seems to work in bCourses. Changing all that is a monumental headache.

Teaching is a joy, but this slog prepwork is joyless.
