Sample Essays Added to Handouts Page
Posted by Shawn Hansen
I have added two sample essays to the Handouts page.
You will find them under the “Writing Basics” heading.
My thanks to Ash and Jordan for willingly sharing their work with everyone.
Grades Now Available Online
Posted by Shawn Hansen
I’ve just finished uploading grades, and I’ve sent out an e-mail containing instructions for accessing your online records.
These records are NOT associated with SCC: this is a service I use which allows me to grant you access to grades in this manner.
If I do not have an e-mail address for you (i.e. you failed to complete the New Student Form), you will NOT have access to your grades.
If your server bounces e-mail back to me, you will not have received instructions.
Please be certain to follow the instructions carefully, and hang on to the e-mail for future reference.
Extra Credit for Essay #1
Posted by Shawn Hansen
I’ve sent this out in an e-mail; however, some of you didn’t get it (mail rejected by your server), and some of you won’t get it (no e-mail address provided to me), so I am posting what I sent here:
Hello All,
I’ve received several questions regarding what will be required to earn the extra credit on the essays and research paper: I presume some of you are basing your Extra-Credit sign-up decisions on what else you will have to do, so I am attaching the work that will be required on Essay #1. (It will be similar for Essays #2 and #3.) The Research Paper will be a bit more involved but not much. (Remember, this is to benefit YOU–not create more work for me!)
You do NOT need to print this out: I will have copies on Wednesday.
If you have trouble getting the attachment, the link for the handout is HERE.
I’ll see you all in class.

Monday Is Library Day, and. . .
Posted by Shawn Hansen
Please remember to report to the second floor of the library and not the classroom.
Also–I sent an e-mail out on Sunday, so if you didn’t receive it, you might want to consider the following:
- Have you submitted a New Student Form?
- Have you checked you spam?
- Have you added the course e-mail address to your safe-senders list?
Remember, I often send reminders and other information via e-mail, so ensuring you receive messages is important.
Clearing Up Some Confusion
Posted by Shawn Hansen
Several students have had difficulty ordering the Extra Credit text, but I think this will clear things up:
- Fill out the sign-up form and you go to a page with another link and instructions.
- Click on the book (as described), and you’ll go to the order page.
- Once you click the button to place the book in your cart, you will be back at the top of the same page.
- Look in the upper, right-hand corner, and you’ll see your shopping cart. If you click the “view cart” button, you’ll go to checkout.

A Little Lorem Ipsum to Placehold
Posted by Shawn Hansen
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance.
What does it look like?
