Hello 372 and welcome to our course of studies together.

Note: This course was English 470 – but changed to 372 this semester, so  you may see references to Engl. 470 in earlier blogs or comments.

Please begin with the welcome page where you will find a general overview of course expectations. And, I have made a video for you that will talk you through the course syllabus – you can follow along.

Please also take the time to cruise through the course site and get a sense of how you will need to schedule yourselves  — this is an interactive online course and timeliness is essential in order to fully engage with the course. The Course schedule page is a quick reference to due dates.

This is a challenging course that asks you to explore literature in a different context than the average English literature course, and requires assignments that are likewise “different’ than what most of you will be accustomed  to expecting in a Literature course. I hope you will enjoy the challenges and make good use of our Group FaceBook page to ask your questions and assist each other with answers. This Facebook page is for your convenience only and is not mandatory; if you do not like Facebook we also have a Chat function on our UBC site.

Thank you, we will talk soon.
