<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Greetings All:</P>
<P>I thought that some of you might be asked by students what exactly is happening this quarter with the Online English Discussion. First, you have no obligation to answer anything. You can just send them to their Blackboard site. If they still have questions, they can contact me, Keith Vance, at <A href="mailto:lashervan@hotmail.com">lashervan@hotmail.com</A>. Second, in general, the course is divided into two parts as explained below. The first section requires students to review and practice grammar material they did last quarter. The second half of the quarter will stress reading comprehension. </P>
<P>Below you can find some of the information that I posted to the Discussion on Blackboard. Note that MyCompLab, the program that caused so many difficulties before, is not referred to at all. Students need only take the tests on Blackboard, which are clearly marked.</P>
<P>Best,</P>
<P>Keith</P>
