  1. Read over the syllabus very carefully. Note that the Course Description<\/a> page includes 6 subpages, covering such topics as: how to contact me and course objectives<\/a>; the texts you need to buy<\/a>; attendance, participation, and other policies<\/a>; how blogging groups will work this semester<\/a>; how you will be graded<\/a>; and how Domain of One’s Own will impact your experience in this class<\/a>. There is also a calendar<\/a> of reading and assignments (note that there will be some additional incidental readings and assignments added as we go); and 4 pages describing the major assignments<\/a> this semester (though as of this moment only the first is published … I’ll talk briefly with you about the other three).<\/li>\n
  2. Add this site to your bookmarks. (You can link either to the home URL (http:\/\/davidmorgen.org\/eng101s14\/<\/a>) or to this blog page (http:\/\/davidmorgen.org\/eng101s14\/blog\/<\/a>.)\u00a0Make certain that you can find your way back here, because you’ll be spending a lot of time visiting here over the course of this semester.<\/li>\n
  3. Sign up for a domain<\/a>\u00a0of your own. The preference is for your domain to be your name (i.e., janestudent.net or davidmorgen.org or johndoe.com) but if you have a very common name you might have to be a little creative. You are not required to publish a site under your given name, so if you really want to sign up for some other domain (i.e., hackeducation.com instead of audreywatters.com) you can. But, really, only go the latter route if you have some reason to do so,<\/li>\n
  4. Come back to this post once you have signed up for your domain and leave a comment. Enter your name and email and the new domain address in the “website” line when on the comment. (You don’t have to have anything installed in that domain yet, just have the domain reserved. We’ll talk about getting WordPress installed there on Thursday.) In the body of the comment, you should ask one question about the syllabus.<\/li>\n
  5. Read the intro & the first two chapters of Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
