Website Update & Things Fall Apart

Hi, all,

I have updated my website. Please let me know what you think of the new section - books to check out - and let me know how I can make it more useful to you.

We will be playing Things Fall Apart later in the week - or early next week. In the meantime, check out this blog: http://www.africanscramble.blogspot.com. Professor Webb's blog has a lot of information regarding postcolonial literature and some great questions regarding some of our recent works... yes, including the Heart of Darkness...and how they relate to Things Fall Apart.

See you in class...

Welcome to the 2nd Semester!

Hi, class(es),

Please leave me a note to let me know you stopped by and share your thoughts on our class activities. Discussion questions will be coming soon.

Don't forget my website: http://jetyler1.googlepages.com
I will be asking for your feedback on whether you prefer the website which is only updated once a week or the blog...

Is power corrupting? Why do you think that?

Hi, all,

Welcome to my blog . We will use this space as an area to stay up-to-date with class happenings (or go to my website at: http://jetyler1.googlepages.com) and also continue classroom discussions.
It is also a great way to post questions you may have about our readings. It is always better to email me with questions about class assignments though.
Please comment only in your class section, although you are welcome to browse other sections as well.
