Class Minutes, 1/26/10
Date: 1/26/2010
Class: CLL 405
Class Start: 9:30AM Class End: 10:50AM
Author: Nathan Reynolds
Participants: Matthew Ali, Lynnette Bruce, Casey Cornelia-Galletto, Timothy Cumberbatch, Aron Day, Amanda Furcall, Stacy Furgal, Robert Greer, Giselle Guadalupe, Kyle Hodgson, Joshua Menard, Leanna Mulvihill, Ryan Reed, Nathan Reynolds, Maegan Spindler, Brittany Meeks, Melissa Tufte, Dean Wellinton, Jonathan Willow, Danielle Zeller, Jessica Zeller
Summary: Class began at 9:32AM with the review of the previous class’ minutes. The previous minute taker appointed a new minute taker and reader for the class. Although critiqued harshly, the class learned how to properly read and review class minutes. After the minuets were read,”kudos” were given to Stacy Furgal (author of minuets) and Ryan Reed (reader of minutes). The class then reviewed proper editing techniques and learned the importance of proper punctuation. We determined that our thought process is comparable to the speed of light and in order to properly edit and revise your written work you need to read it aloud. This enables us to slow down our thought process from the speed of light to the speed of sound allowing us to more accurately correct mistakes. This brought upon the conclusion that most people are procrastinators and that it has become a systemic problem. For the next class we need to consider what our own eco-philosophy is and elaborate on it so that we can submit a paragraph next class. Remember that we are part of the environment and it is a part of us, rather than using it selfishly and how we want to. We then discussed grade contracts and suggested that they should include everything that you would like to learn in the class. This includes the grade you would like, participation in the class, tasks, and your eco-philosophy. The assignment for Thursday (1/28/2010) is to re-submit a corrected and final grade contract. The class ended on the submission of previous assignments at 10:48AM.
Notes:
• Robert’s rules of order
➢ Rules to run meetings
➢ Order
• Call meeting to order (done by recorder)
• Lights are off
• Circle up desks
• Appoint minuet taker/reader
• Review old business
• Ratify minuets
• Editing
➢ When reading you need to be aware of the proper punctuation and presentation
• Dash –- made up of two hyphens
• Hyphen – used to combine words
➢ Punctuation
• Commas
• Use when you have the conjunctions between independent clauses: and, or, but, for, nor, yet or so
• Parenthesis
• Used to separate and emphasize an idea
➢ Make sure that you have your written work peer reviewed and read aloud before you submit it
• This allows for you to slow down your thought process so that you have more time to look at what needs to be revised.
• Our thought process functions at the speed of light (Speed of light: 186,000 miles/sec)
