This is a tentative schedule by week and day, for assignments, readings, and activities. Tentative means I can vary it as much as seems appropriate. However, plan on sticking fairly close to this outline. I will post all revisions of and additions to the syllabus on this web page. The updated web version will always override the printable PDF version.

Syllabus Key:

Readings are either from one of the class texts or available online. They should be read completely before coming to class that week.

Key terms and figures are typically found in the encyclopedia section of Jolliffe's Rhetoric, though some will simply be terms or concepts we might want to discuss that day. Skim the terms/figures in Rhetoric for background info when needed.

Suggested readings are provided in the event you'd like to do further reading on the topic or if you decide to write about that particular topic. Most are online but you can get the print texts through the library or interlibrary loan. For full citations see the Bibliography.

CC indicates what we will do in the second half of class in the computer classroom. Sometimes it will focus on technology skills. Sometimes it will involve analyzing texts or argument. And sometimes I will provide students with the option of doing one or the other.

Note: There are three areas of emphasis that will emerge during the semester: philosophical, pedagogical, and technical (in both senses of working with technology and looking technically at the ways arguments or texts work). In any given week one may be in the forefront and the others in the background, but they are always there and intimately related.

go over syllabus, sign up for list (set up GMU email if necessary), get mason space set up, go over basic html and get a basic page up

Application/Pedagogy

NOTE: For the remaining weekly responses, focus on the main Assignment in each part of Internet Invention. Use the following Exercises throughout the chapters to support the main assignment. Your responses should be built as/in hypertext. You will pull them up on the main screen and talk through them rather than read them. It is easy to get caught up in the details of Ulmer's assignments and exercises. Try to keep focused on whatever your issue, project, or main topic is. Work extra research (print or online references, notes from initial readings or skims, even off the cuff ideas or possible connections) into the responses as much as possible.
