NOTE #2: Take good notes during the presentation. Since we do not meet as a class on Th 9/30 or F 10/1, use your notes to write a one-page paper, double-spaced, about 300-350 words, in which you record your reactions to specific things that Anthony Bukoski talked about during one of his presentations--agree with him, disagree with him, respond to something he said, etc. (Ideas are more important for this paper than grammar.)
