Questions
The menu above includes a link to "questions," a page on which I will ask you to post some initial questions at our first meeting..   I expect each student to post at least one additional question to our  list each week.  I hope to use these questions in order to better prepare for subsequent sessions.  I also see these questions and the forum as a means by which you can help expand and explore ideas for your projects.

Forums
Posting to weekly forums are required.  Students must post by 5pm Sunday and then post a response by 5pm Tuesday.  (The Sunday post time is to accommodate the first week Friday viewing of Matewan.  We may agree to amend the initial post time in subsequent weeks. 

Final Written Project
I'm willing to entertain a fairly broad range of possible final projects as long as we can agree they are the equivalent of an 8-10 page paper.   All texts must include a cover memo which explores the research, writing, and/or creative process.  I cannot overemphasize the importance of this memo or "meta-text," whatever the form of the final project.
