Darren recently sent an email to his section of FS102, and I'm passing it along.
Your papers are due in your Sakai dropbox tomorrow before 11AM. As you
put the finishing touches on your paper and begin proof-reading, please
consider crafting a compelling thesis statement for the first paragraph
of your paper. I know this may sound counter-intuitive, but it is best
to write the thesis statement AFTER you complete the body of your
paper. The statement should sum-up the content of your writing by
clearly and concisely stating the main idea of your paper. A 2-3 page
paper should explore and begin to flesh-out just one idea. I've
attached a link with some helpful information, but when you read the
linked article please consider that you are writing a response to the
exhibition and artist's talk and your opinions are quite important.
Even so, please avoid talking about "likes" and "dislikes," but instead
focus on what you feel is effective/ineffective and the what/why/how of
an artwork's effectiveness.
And, the link Darren passed along.

We'll see you tomorrow in Doane.
