This blog was created last year as a way of keeping in touch with etudientes (that's foreign and therefore sexy-talk for 'students') and allowing for a bit more discussion of things. It is not a substitute for attendance, but you might - might - be able to catch up on the odd missed class.
It is better than WebCT because:
- WebCT is for losers;
- This allows anyone to look at it, as opposed to a privileged few, unlike WebCT, which is for losers;
- WebCT (because it is for losers) has a tendency of crapping out (at least here at CBU);
- I can abuse my power and silence people (unlike WebCT, which is not only for losers, but is for hippie losers); and
- WebCT is totally for losers.
In retrospect, it may all be one and the same reason. Anyhoo, this will be a way of making handouts available, and is a good place to look at quasi-regularly. There is an rss feed for those too lazy to check which will tell you when I've added something new. I'll get the syllabus up to the right in a day or two, and make it all pretty.
Since I'm so very good, and the fact that you didn't do the reading was beyond your control, here is a synopsis of today's class as a PowerPoint presentation. Don't expect too many of these.
PS: Those who are new to folklore country should mosey around, set a spell, and amble through some of the posts from last year, to get a sense of things.
