ShannonMc says, "i worked hard to get my 600+ words"
JasonOg says, "Frank, lay off the conclusron"
FrankBl says, "Jason you last sentence in the first paragraph is akward"
FrankBl says, "Jason I am kidding about the conclusion"
JasonOg says, "I know, I didn't realize it until today"
ShannonMc says, "jenny, are you done with your paper?"
JenniferCa says, "its just a rough draft"
JasonOg says, "Frank, your paper was long buddy"
ShannonMc says, "since we are doing this tomorrow too, I am jst going to print everybody's out so I can look at them"
FrankBl says, "Jenny you might want to read your paper again for small errors but otherwise it was good"
FrankBl says, "sorry Jason I kind of got on a role"
JasonOg says, "Jenny, I liked your paper alot because you put alot of your own ideas in it"
JenniferCa says, "thanx Jason"
JasonOg says, "I wish I could get on a role when writing"
ShannonMc says, "i wish I could too"
FrankBl says, "It doesn't happen often so don't always count on it"
JasonOg says, "Franks essay should be published in that book"
JenniferCa says, "i read everyones paper, but i have a bad memory"
FrankBl says, "Thanks"
ShannonMc says, "same here"
JasonOg says, "I can't remember my name sometimes"
FrankBl says, "Jason you also had a couple of minor errors but than that it was really good also"
JenniferCa says, "especially when i try to remeber where i parked"
JasonOg says, "thanks Frank"
ShannonMc says, "I can't ever remember where I have parked"
JasonOg says, "I think my paper is missing something though, could it be a conclusion"
FrankBl says, "maybe"
JasonOg says, "Frank, is your thesis the first sentence in the essay?"
FrankBl says, "yes is that bad"
ShannonMc says, "I put my thesis sorta at the end of my paper"
JenniferCa says, "it doesnt matetr Frank"
JenniferCa says, "matter even"
ShannonMc says, "is that ok?"
JasonOg says, "no, I thought it was, I'm just use to it being the last sentence in the first paragraph"
FrankBl says, "should I move to the last sentence of the first paragraph"
JasonOg says, "I don't think so"
JenniferCa says, "Frank its good because everyone puts it at the end when it doesnt really have to be"
JasonOg says, "be a rebel"
JenniferCa says, "its original"
JasonOg says, "its a good way to start off I think"
FrankBl says, "if you put a quote in the middle of a sentence do you put the page number at the end of the sentence or right after the quote"
ShannonMc says, "so it's ok that my thesis is at the end of my paper?"
JenniferCa says, "yeah Frank, it was a good paper i remember reading it before class"
JasonOg says, "I have the same question"
FrankBl says, "thanks Jenny so was yours"
JenniferCa says, "right after the quote"
JasonOg says, "Shannon, you put your thesis at the end of your paper?"
FrankBl says, "then Jason you need to move your page numbers"
ShannonMc says, ""in a way...I put the stuff about Neusner's article in my last paragraph. "
ShannonMc says, "someone told me that was ok"
JasonOg says, "I realize that now"
JasonOg says, "I don't think so Shannon"
ShannonMc says, "So I should say if it's effective/ineffective at the beginning"
JasonOg says, "You are allowed to restate your thesis in the conclusion"
FrankBl says, "Shannon it is a good way to end a paper as long as you have a good introduction that will keep the reader still interested"
JenniferCa says, "yeah you maybe should"
ShannonMc says, "cause I know someone who did their paper like I did"
JenniferCa says, "thats true too Frank"
JasonOg says, "I would ask Mr. Cole"
ShannonMc says, "cool. I will"
FrankBl says, "that is probably your best bet Shannon"
JasonOg says, "Page him right now"
JasonOg says, "I want to know"
FrankBl says, "class flies when you do it on the computer"
JasonOg says, "I love it"
FrankBl says, "how do we get Mr Cole's attention"
JenniferCa says, "i dont like anything"
JasonOg says, "page him"
FrankBl says, "how"
JasonOg says, "thats not a good attitude"
JenniferCa says, "i cant help it..its just the way i am"
Mr.Cole has arrived.
FrankBl says, "I try to get a better one"
Mr.Cole says, "Yes?"
JasonOg says, "go on Shannon"
FrankBl says, "will somebdy ask him"
Mr.Cole says, "I'm here. Ask away."
JasonOg says, "I think shes typing"
ShannonMc says, "I put my sentence 'X's article is ineffective/effective....' at the end of my paper"
ShannonMc says, "it's in my conclusion"
JasonOg says, "she means thesis"
FrankBl says, "if you put a quote in the middle of a sentence do you put the page number at the end of the sentence or right after the quote"
JasonOg says, "thank you for asking Frank"
Mr.Cole says, "Typically, the thesis should come at the beginning. Maybe the first paragraph. Certainly within the introduction, however long that might be. The conclusion is too late."
JasonOg says, "I'm glad we asked"
FrankBl says, "same here"
ShannonMc says, "I do have a thesis in the beginning, but I use the 'ineffective/effective' stuff in my conclusion"
JasonOg says, "why didn't you say that before"
FrankBl says, "Mr Cole how do we get you attention in different rooms and did you catch my question"
Mr.Cole says, "As for the quotations, it's a question of style. You usually want to wait for a pause in the sentence. I was going to go over those issues somewhat later in the quarter."
ShannonMc says, "if you would have read my paper Jason, you would have seen that"
JasonOg says, "tooshay"
ShannonMc says, "mad?"
Mr.Cole [to reach]: me elsewhere use the 'page' command. Type 'help page' for more info.
FrankBl says, "he apologized Shannon"
ShannonMc says, "no beef here"
JasonOg says, "I have nothing but love and admiration for you Shannon"
Mr.Cole says, "To reach me elsewhere use the 'page' command. Type 'help page' for more info."
ShannonMc says, "I love you too! @~~)~~~"
FrankBl says, "class is over isn't it"
JasonOg says, "five minutes"
ShannonMc says, "I have somewhere to be a 4:30"
Mr.Cole says, "Not quite, but you might as well come out. "
ShannonMc says, "my clock says it's 4:15 now"
JenniferCa says, "when 4:20?"
FrankBl says, "me too"
Mr.Cole says, "I'll call the others."
