- SecondPassAtArgumentsOnWebSites was due midnight Sun 11 Oct. I'll be reviewing them today and tomorrow morning.
- On-campus class meets as usual Tue 13 Oct!
- We'll review how SecondPassAtArgumentsOnWebSites went and what you found so far.
- The final pass will ask you to look at a couple of parallel pages on the SCSU website. I'll post details of this final pass and the final write up for this project on Wednesday 14 Oct. Because we'll be familiar with many of the rhetorical moves BSU is using to manage their arguments, this last pass will focus on seeing differences and variations on the SCSU site and evaluating their effectiveness.
Wed 14 Oct

- The Overwrite warning. If you save a page, then use the back button rather than double-clicking to get back to editing, you might get an Overwrite warning in red. That only means the wiki is confused. Select all the text you're editing, copy it, then Cancel the save. After you save, see if the version is complete. It usually is. But if not, double-click to edit the page, select everything, then paste the version you have on the clipboard into the wiki and save.
- Use RecentComments at the top of the page to check on FAQs.
