This is just to remind you: Your critique for a classmate's Essay 1 first draft is due this Wednesday, 1/28. As with the first drafts, I'll take a quick look at your critique, but essentially, your critique is due to your partner. It's essentially due to him or her. And that'y mainly why I encourage you to try your best and be on time. But if you can't make it, for whatever reason, talk to me as soon as possible, and we can decide what to do.

And just to follow up on our discussion today, here are some materials about National Adjunct Walkout Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, 2/25 (which is a class day for us, and also the day when our Essay 2, second draft, will be due):
First, here's the very first blog post to officially announce National Adjunct Walkout Day, posted on Inside Higher Ed, a web publication intended for college insiders (meaning mostly professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students, but also curious administrators):

Next, here's a video that was put together by Ohio State adjunct professors, and it's their attempt at explaining the whole adjunct situation as thoroughly and simply as they can:

Finally, here's an article by a controversial writer, Sarah Kendzior, whose work I've assigned my students to read in the past, and in fact this is not the first time she's written about adjuncts, but in this article, she sums up the situation pretty quickly, and starts from an interesting personal note:

Let me know if you find interesting links, too! I can easily post these links here once you give them to me.
