Re-Organization Underway

This site is ready for a major re-organization. I have added some links and need to add more, and I need to re-categorize and edit some pending posts.  But most important, and much to my joy, I my semester starts tomorrow, so I'll be teaching 80 new online students.  

If you are one of those, welcome!  I am happy to have you "in" class and I look forward to a great semester ahead. 

Please be patient as this site changes and grows.  I have big plans, but only so many hours each day to work on bringing them to fruition.  In the coming week, for example, I'll be adding more links and YouTube content for my current online students.  I can't wait.  

Revising Content

One of the items on my list of "must dos* between semesters is revising the content of my online courses to fix all the bugs, clumsy sentences and links, and bad policies that just never worked. As I revise in the next few weeks, I will be posting some of the changes so others can see the kinds of online content that works and the kind that doesn't work. One thing I can tell you all right now: after seven years teaching online, I am abandoning my practice of reading unlimited drafts of student papers. I have pulled my last all-nighter grading papers no different from the previous versions - aside from a new comma and a wider margin. Don't look at me like that. Whether you are a student or an instructor, you know exactly what I am talking about.
