Using This Site
Hello, and welcome! This website, http://jerz.setonhill.edu/teaching/EL250, is your main resource for the course.
For the first part of the course, every day at about 4pm I will post a message pointing out exactly what you should do for upcoming assignments.
I'm still working on the website, and ironing out some kinks in the online version of of the opening lecture. So some of the other pages on this site might refer to things that are still developing.
Here are the pages on this site that you should read for tomorrow.
If you look at the top of this page and click the "Outline" tab, you'll see that the five items above are already listed in the outline under Jan 3. In the future, I won't retype every link that's already in the outline, I'll just expect you to go directly to the outline and see what's there.
Each day at about 4pm, I will post discussion questions that assume you have already finished all the work that is listed for that day. (Some assignments will be due at 9am, so that I'll have time to review them before the 4pm bulletin.)
You'll have about two days to respond to the discussion prompt and engage your peers (initially on this website, and eventually on your own SHU weblogs, which I will set up very soon.) We'll do some work via e-mail, some on J-Web, and some in Turnitin.com. But every assignment will have its own page on the course website, and I hope that those details will be posted well before you need them.
If you're ever feel unsure of what to do on a particular assignment, or you're working ahead and you would like for me to flesh out a particular page, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on the blog, and I'll tend to it as soon as I can.
The welcome page and the syllabus contain much more information about the course, which I won't repeat here. Should you have any questions, please feel free to post a comment anywhere on the course website. (That will automatically generate an e-mail to me, so you needn't e-mail me to ask me to look for your comment. I'll find it.)
It's about 9pm. I'm signing off for a few hours so I can get my kids to bed, but I'll check in again briefly tonight in order to post the first set of study questions (due Friday).
