COMM 317: Snow day quiz

Sometimes when attendance is down, I give quizzes that are designed in part to reward you for coming to class. I try to make them not too intellectually challenging, so everybody can get credit. There are two questions on today's quiz.
1. Pick a number between 1 and 3. That's it. That's the question. That's all there is.

2. In what large East Coast city is The New York Times located? (a) Pawnee (b) New Berlin (c) Williamsville (d) Illiopolis (e) New York.
Post your answers to comments to this message. And be sure to tell your classmates who aren't here today what you did to collect 50 points of extra credit.

1) 2 is the only whole number between 1 and 3...I suppose 1.254 or 2.963 would also be acceptable answers:)

2) New York

About Me

Springfield (Ill.), United States
I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
