>Hello, Everyone!
>
>We're getting reports of errors in Write It Review that I want to 
>pass on to you.
>
>The first is in the scoring rubric on pages 22-23.  The last 
>sentence in the "High Pass" category has an extra "and."  It should 
>read: "The content of the essay responds directly to the prompt 
>question with a persuasive [ignore the "and" here] argument and 
>reasoned examples ...."
>
>The second is in the new instructor manual.  The answer given for 
>diagnostic exam #1, sentence #33, is wrong (it says that a semicolon 
>is wanted in that sentence).  The right answer for #33 is "correct."
>
>Let us know if you find other errors so we can spread the word--and 
>try to make corrections in winter quarter's copies.
>
>By the way, the new instructor manual for WIR--written by Josh 
>Fenton, Megan MacAlystre, Helen Lovejoy, and Jim Condon--is full of 
>great teaching ideas, and it has the answers to the Case Studies and 
>Diagnostics.  If you don't yet have a copy, be sure to stop by HMNSS 
>1102 and pick one up (or let Jill or me know if you would like to 
>have a copy put in your mailbox).  We're out of copies this morning 
>but more will arrive on Wednesday.
>
>After a bumpy start, second session seems now to be running 
>smoothly.  Please let me know if this is simply wishful thinking on my part.
