Course Calendar & Presentations
How To Use The Course Calendar
Using all of this information requires a bit of organization, so follow these general
instructions. For each week, begin by reading assigned work from the hard text. There
will be rhetoric and source material from Mays. The works themselves, listed by
title and author, are also in Mays. You are then to view the Web pages for the authors
and topics for that week, listed as a link on the
English Internet Resource List section of
the Web site (not all are covered). That means all you have to do is click on the
colored (usually blue) label of the name or address of the site. Following that, read the
online presentation of the format strategy for the week (Org & Outline,
Quoting Your Sources, How To Take A Test, etc.). You are also required to read the thematic
presentation for that week in Online Presentations
(Character, Theme, Irony, etc.).
This will allow you to follow the schedule and be topical
in the chat room. Read the directions. The following calendar lists the reading assignments.
Written assignments and due dates for papers and tests are posted on the Message Board. Most of this syllabus is self-explanatory.
