C’est tout

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 22 December 2008, 7:40 am

Ok, that’s that then. I’ve now submitted the grades and posted everything that I have to the Blackboard site. Your grades should be visible now through the Student Link. I will be posting the key to the final on the syllabus page shortly, if you want to have a look, and you can pick up …

I still have some homework

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 18 December 2008, 11:13 am

If you happen to be one of the first couple of people to leave the final, I realized that I forgot to give you back your homework. You can pick it up later, or stop by my office sometime during the day today. Or, you know, pick it up next semester.

I was just reminded that in all the excitement, I forgot to post the key to homework 10. Sorry about that. It is now linked in on the syllabus page as well as in the first sentence of this post.

HWXC: Sonatas v. Violins

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 14 December 2008, 3:21 pm

It’s been called to my attention that there is a typo in the extra credit homework, under (37), 5th line down, where I refer to trying to move which violin out of a wh-island, when I meant to refer to which sonata. It’s probably figure-out-able, but just for the record, it’s supposed to be which …

Office hours

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 13 December 2008, 4:58 pm

As we head into finals period, let me reiterate here what I mentioned in class: Tue-Thu next week are “office days”, more or less. I won’t have specific office hours, but I should be around for most of all three days, and I can also answer emailed questions (and perhaps post some of the answers …

Extra credit homework

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 13 December 2008, 3:22 pm

Hi everyone. Ok, here’s the deal with the extra credit homework (trees are easy to draw). The entire homework is relatively elaborate and it’s a bit more “thinky” than pretty much any of the homeworks so far. It’s not so much to practice doing things, but to think your way through the problem. You’ll notice …

Everything’s posted

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 6 December 2008, 5:50 pm

I’ve now posted pretty much everything (except the key to homework 10) on the syllabus page. This includes the keys to all previous homeworks, the second part of the summary notes, and practice finals. Because there are only two classes left in the semester, you might want to start taking a look at the summary …

HW9: What to do with do

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 3 December 2008, 9:27 pm

I’ve gotten a number of questions about how to handle the do that shows up in a couple of the homework problems. Here’s the deal. Check the textbook, p. 192, where you will find the Pronouncing Tense Rule. It says: (160) Pronouncing Tense Rule (PTR) In a chain (T[tense], v[uInfl:tense]), pronounce the tense features on …

HW9: Books about poetry vs. books of poetry

Posted by Paul Hagstrom on 3 December 2008, 8:31 pm

You might recall that in book of poetry, the of poetry PP is a complement to the noun book, which we took to be partly due to the “intrinsic” nature of the of poetry property. Is about poetry in book about poetry the same? Rather than try to figure this out based on puzzling about …
