It Works For Me, Online!: Shared Tips For Online And Web-Enhanced Teaching, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe, Douglas Robertson

Those who teach fully online classes will find tips on such things as tricks you can use with synchronous chats, how to use blogging in your classroom to replace traditional chat-rooms (talk about your superannuation), and even ways of adapting Blackboard to meet administrative needs.

And, truthfully, we are hopeful that even dyed-in-the-wool, card-carrying Luddites will skim through …


Total Team Teaching — Sharing Teaching Duties Equally, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe Nov 2011

Total Team Teaching — Sharing Teaching Duties Equally, Charlie Sweet, Hal Blythe

Hal Blythe

In his excellent book on team teaching (Interdisciplinary Courses and Team Teaching), James Davis posits two extremes on the continuum of team teaching. One pole consists of “courses planned by a group of faculty and then carried out in serial segments by the individual members of the group” (p. 7). At the opposite pole are “courses planned and delivered by a group … . They take primary responsibility for individual class sessions, but sometimes [italics ours] two or more faculty are involved in planning and delivering the instruction of a particular class.” (p. 7) The two of us take the …

Henry James: Seeing A Life Through Biography, Letters, And Fiction, Pierre A. Walker Oct 2004

Henry James: Seeing A Life Through Biography, Letters, And Fiction, Pierre A. Walker

Pierre Walker

Film directors, opera composers, playwrights, and choreographers have long been drawn to adapting Henry James's fiction. In recent decades, fiction writers from Carlos Fuentes to Joyce Carol Oates to Hilary Bailey to Alan Hollinghurst have reset such stories of James's as The Aspern Papers, The Turn of the Screw, and "The Pupil." But this year, Colm Tóibín, in The Master, and David Lodge, in Author, Author, have both taken the unusual step of making Henry James the central character in full-length psychological novels. Partly because of the coincidence of these two authors' working simultaneously on similar projects, but also because …

The Conservatism Of 1784: Georgiana, Duchess Of Devonshire And ‘Representative Publicness, Adrianne Wadewitz Sep 2004

The Conservatism Of 1784: Georgiana, Duchess Of Devonshire And ‘Representative Publicness, Adrianne Wadewitz

Adrianne Wadewitz

The 1784 Westminster election has garnered a lot of attention because of the extraordinary contemporary reactions, both positive and negative, to the participation of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Historians such as Amanda Foreman, Elaine Chalus, Anne Stott, and Judith Lewis have used this election to illustrate the potential for female political involvement during the eighteenth-century. They also convincingly argue that the harsh criticism leveled at Georgiana was a consequence of her ‘democratic’ canvassing techniques and not a reaction to her sex, but their analyses lack a clear framework that accounts for the violence of the responses. I would like to …

Introduction: Los Angeles Studies And The Future Of Urban Cultures, Raul Villa, George J. Sanchez Aug 2004

Introduction: Los Angeles Studies And The Future Of Urban Cultures, Raul Villa, George J. Sanchez

Raul Villa

This special issue of American Quarterly focuses on Los Angeles as an emblematic site through which the scholarship of American studies can be examined. As a city shaped by eighteenth-century European colonization, nineteenth-century U.S. territorial expansion, and twentieth-century migration, Los Angeles has come to embody both the hopes and fears of Americans looking to the future. It is a city in which the local is deployed in complex practices of identity and community formation within the broader networks of globalization that continue to define and redefine what constitutes America. The articles in this volume address the complexities of the city's …

The Hitman From New York, Hal Charles Feb 2004

The Hitman From New York, Hal Charles

Charlie Sweet

The stranger's seven words seized Sawyer's gut like thick fingers twisting and squeezing all the juices loose. "What . . . what did you say?" Sawyer stumbled, covering his mouth with his napkin for fear he was about to become a human Mt. Etna spewing out bile. Calmly, the large stranger sat down at the table across from him, ceremoniously removed his NY Yankees baseball cap, and repeated matter-of-factually, "I have been contracted to kill you."
