Overview
Resources on this page are for my students and other students who might find them useful. I will add to it when I have information worthy of your attention and my time.

Handouts
Later on I might regroup the following handouts into categories, but for now I will list them as I am able. Many of these are common to many different classes; others, such as "English 1H Fall 2002 Syllabus" are specific to a class. Of particular interest might be my syllabus as it shows me trying to align my classes more effectively with standards in a way I find useful.
