Please note the page title: Required Materials. That means
ya gotta have these things.
Books
- Charters, Ann. The
Story and Its Writer 6th edition.
Note: all short stories will be found in this book. We will
be using this book first, so it should be your priority.
Chopin, Kate. The
Awakening. - Shelley, Mary.
Frankenstein
Note: we will be using the reissue edition linked here, and all
page numbers will reflect this edition. However, you are
certainly free to use another edition if you already own the book or
can borrow it, and I will gladly provide reference points for the page
#'s.
Both of these books are available at the Parkland bookstore.
Technology
- Regular and reliable access to the Internet.
This one's a gimme. You cannot complete an on-line class if
you cannot get on-line. For this class, you will need to be able
to get on-line at least three times a week, and within specific
time-frames (between Tuesday and Friday, for example).
- Access to a regular and reliable email account that you check on a
regular basis.
In order to sign up for this class, you had to activate/access your
Parkland student email account. Personally, I don't care if you
use that email or another, as long as it's an account you check several
times a week, as I will regularly send out course information via
email. As a personal favor to me, please make sure the account
is kept current and that you keep an eye on how full your mailbox
is. Bouncing messages are no one's friend.
-
Access to our class
WebBoard.
Go here for directions for creating an account.
- Access either to Microsoft Word or to a word processing program that
can be made compatible with MS Word.
I'll talk more about this in the policies
section, but simply put: I need to be able to read your papers and
exams. I'm more than happy to explain to you how to save the
files so I can read them, but you have to be willing to work with me.
It goes without saying (I hope) that you need to know how to use a
computer. In particular, you need to know how to navigate a web
page, use email (including sending attachments), and use a word
processor. You do not need to know how to use WebBoard; however,
you have to be willing to learn.
