Class Procedures and Reminders
Monday announcements. If you didn't get a chance to read yesterday's announcements, you can do that now: Monday announcements. And you can subscribe to the announcements by email if you want; there's a subscription box in the right-hand sidebar of the blog here.
Blog network. Congratulations to everybody who has their blog set up already! The blog stream is really going strong now, with lots of posts in both classes; about half of the blogs were up and running at the end of the day Monday. To take a look, you can click on the "Blogs" button in the Canvas menu, or you can see both blog streams side by side.
Blogs and Comments. By the end of the day today, everybody will be blogging! My goal this week is to read and comment on all the Favorite Places posts, and I'll be reading Introduction posts this week and next. In Week 2, you'll all be commenting on each other's blogs too!
CAS Orientation. You may have received an email from the College of Arts and Sciences about an online course orientation; you do not need to do that CAS orientation for this class. The week-long Orientation for this class will cover everything you need.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. Here's another wonderful photo from a favorite place post; this is Anhthu's picture taken in Moah, Utah:
