Good Morning--
What follows is a transcript of the video you can watch here by clicking on this link.
If you are reading this, you are currently enrolled in ENGL 301-A01. Please Note: I do not use blackboard to manage class work. I host my own teaching website that you can access at this link: www.leetorda.com. I am posting this message to Blackboard for informational purposes only. For the rest of our time together, all information, discussion boards, and zoom links to our meet ups will available exclusively on that site.
A second note: depending on what time you access the teaching website, information for our class may not be ready for viewing, but it will be by class time tomorrow. During the first part of class, we will go over the website—how to use it and what information you’ll find on it as well as the syllabus and course policies.
THIS COURSE IS A SYNCHRONOUS, ON-LINE COURSE. This is a five-week summer class meant to replicate the work of a 15-week regular semester class—that’s a lot. Over a year ago when my schedule was set, there was a hope that we would be face-to-face for this class. As we all know now, that was wishful thinking. So we are still online. Additionally, we are scheduled to meet from 1:30 until 5:15. During our first class, I would like to have a genuine and sincere discussion about how best to structure the next five weeks with a blend of 1) synchronous meetings during our regularly scheduled class time, 2) some asynchronous work, and 3) some one-on-one meetings with me. I ask that you come prepared to our first class ready to have this conversation authentically.
FOR TOMORROW’S FIRST CLASS: Please use this zoom link to attend class beginning at 1:30 as schedule. For our first class, we will need the majority of our scheduled time to discuss policies, makes some decisions about the split between synchronous and asynchronous time as a group, and begin, in this shortened version of a semester, to tackle the serious and important content of our class—the teaching of writing.
