Directions for ENGL 2112 while Murphy is in Florida.
- Send me an email to the following address: sophist@bigfoot.com
The subject line of the email should say: “YOURNAME: ENGL2112.” In the body of the email, please be sure to include a cell phone number where I can call you if I need to quickly reach you during the semester.
- I will be in Daytona, Florida working for Educational Testing Services from June 8 until the morning of June 18. I should be back in time for class the 18th. If you need to reach me during this time, email me at the address above. If it is an emergency, call me at 478-997-9035 (after 5PM only); but know that this will be a long distance call for you as I will be in Florida.
- Your course work, including PodCasts of the lectures, is all available online at the course website: http://www.keithmurphy.info/2112/2112.htm . They are listed under the heading “Lecture notes and Podcasts for the time I am gone to Daytona, June 9 -18, 2007.” To listen to the Podcasts, all you have to do is be at a computer with speakers (or use a pair of headphones), click on the link, and then click on the lecture link at the archive.org site. If you are an IPod (or other MP3 player) user, you can download the lectures to your MP3 player just like any other MP3. The other links take you to text or videos. If you have technical troubles at home, try opening the sites on one of the computers in a campus lab (but use headphones!)
- The reading list is on the syllabus. By the time I return, you need to have finished the readings on Islam. You should have also worked through, at least, Darwin and be ready to begin Frankenstein. You may choose, as a class, to meet from 3:30 to 4:30 in my absence to discuss the readings. If you do, you will receive credit for your participation.
- I will either post the 1st take-home exam on the class website while I am gone or soon after I return. That is why you must be caught up on the reading.
- The biggest problems I have seen to date are that folks are NOT following directions. If you want to do well in this course, be sure that you READ and that you carefully FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.
