Using vocab words

You should have an ever growing list of vocabulary words on your cards now. Please make sure you are using at least three words in your homework (and highlighting those words in green highlighter). In the digital culture summary, vocab words are extra credit. You may earn 25 points of extra credit through using these words in DCS (3 per assignment).

Please use each word only once in an assignment (particularly words like "idea" and "reading").

Office hours will be from 12:20-12:40 on Tuesday in room 232. Please make a note of this and feel free to come see if you have questions about your homework, want to discuss class work with me or have any confusion related to class.
