 * English 110 Fall 2011 Schedule: ** it is my greatest hope that this schedule will not change overly much throughout the semester. However, changes will probably have to happen. Be sure you write down any changes and keep up with the schedule. YOU are responsible for knowing what you should have done everyday just as though you were attending a college class on campus!
