Welcome.

Welcome to Early American Literature.

Take a good long look at the syllabus, and write me with any questions.  In the syllabus, I explain each aspect of the reading and writing for the class, what you'll be doing each week, how you'll be graded, and I go over the class and college policies--like the "Ouch Rule"--under which the class will run.

Next, take a look at the "Assignments" tab.  Here, you will find detailed instructions on the reading and writing for any particular week.  You might also want to look at the "Extra Credit" tab to see how you can earn extra credit as you do your regular class work.

Next, take a look at the "General Assembly."  This is where you'll go to contact me and to participate in class and group discussions.

Finally, notice the "Contact Me" tab. It will give you more information than you ever wanted to know about getting in touch with yours truly.  The best way to get in touch is to use the many "Contact Me" and "Question?" forms scattered around the class website, but you've also got email, phone (office & home), and IM.  I'm here to help you learn and succeed.  Indeed, the key to success in an online course is staying in communication, asking questions, and helping me to help you.

As always, write with questions.
