What Do You Need for English 1301?

26 August.  Update.  Surprise!  Bedford is no longer our assigned text.  You will need the Prentice-Hall Reference Guide, a wire-bound little book with a secret code for accessing P-H's interactive web site. 

"Don't execute the messenger," and so on.


For Mr. Hall's English 1301 class you will need a copy of The Bedford Handbook by Diana Hacker.  Your old teacher recommends that you purchase a used edition (they are available from 'net retailers) and save some coins for coffee.  Different editions vary, mostly in pagination, but that will not present a problem.  If you are taking the class with a close friend, you may certainly share a copy. 

For taking notes and for writing in class you will need ordinary notebook paper.  Your instructor recommends that you maintain a standard-sized notebook of all your work for your own purposes; you will not turn in a notebook.

Please bring a journal or composition book of the very cheapest sort. 

Black or blue ink only; pencils are for mathematics, and mathematics are not in the Bible, so there.

Outside of class you will need access to a computer and printer.
