The Syllabus

Here’s the class syllabus in case you need a digital copy and can’t read 4-point type. Sorry. The printer had a mind of its own.

I don’t expect the syllabus to change, although it’s possible the class structure — what we will be talking about from one week to the next — may shift as I get to know you guys and you get to know me.

The Class Blog.

OK. I’m tired of messing around with the free wikis. And I don’t want to wait for the EMAC server to get here. So here you go: the class blog using WordPress.

We’re gonna be setting up individual blogs anyway. And we need to look under the hood and see all the things we have control over, or can’t control. So why not do it live? We’ll get to the wiki examples later.

Anyway, here is how I will use this blog.

I will post the syllabus here.

I will post student links and comments here.

I will post presentations and any other pertinent material here.

There will be a few “rules,” however, like using categories, or tagging. For example, all material related to ClassOne will be tagged ClassOne for easy retrieval — you don’t have to scroll through an entire blog to find what you are looking for. Another example is using the student’s last name as a category. This way we can see all the links or comments provided by each student.

I’m sure there’s more, and I will add to the list.

Out for now.
