« Day 2: special language of rhetoric | Main | One last thing »

Welcome to Spring 2016

Read the syllabus and syllabus rationale linked to the right.

For Friday, spend about 30 minutes reading ONLINE about the water problem in Flint, MI.  Pay attention to the types of documents and the publisher (type and platform).  Your goal is to understand primarily the corrosion chemistry science at the heart of this tragedy.   Think about the credibility of the sources you encounter online. Hint:  start by reading about VaTech civil engineering professor Marc Edwards.
