I am back on the saddle, so to say, while still trying to recover from the jet lag and travel aches after almost three weeks in Tanzania. I am sure I will bug you with anecdotes throughout the term :-)
I have most of the syllabus done. Click here for all the info related to the class. I will have the blanks (marked as +++) filled before this week ends.
Now, the course home page has relevant links from which you can certainly find out a lot about me. Let me know if you think there is anything I might add by way of introducing myself.
It appears from the roster that many of you have had classes with me before. Glad to know that your previous experiences with me as the instructor did not preclude you from yet another interaction; thanks for your vote of confidence.
It will be neat if you can email the class a quick note that includes at least the following info:
- Your name
- Your major/minor
- Your standing (junior/senior ...)
- Why you are taking this course, and what you expect to gain from this experience
- Have you ever taken online classes before? If so, where?
- And, finally, this is optional: if you have taken classes with me before--regular or online--is there anything you want to tell your classmates about me?
It will be best if you simply replied to this email without changing the subject line; that way we can all keep track of the conversations. In any case, keep in mind that you can email the entire class by addressing the email to geog418@wou.edu
Am sure soon I will start YouTubing video clips, in addition to blogging my notes. That is right; this email itself is nothing but a blog post. Pretty much everything that I send your way will be as a posting at the blog: http://geog418.blogspot.com/
Any other questions that you might have at this point?
