Teaching an Online Class

by Dr Davis on October 23, 2009

line-drawing-computer-studentI got certification for teaching online this past summer.

Online teaching experience was the last hurdle that full-time positions have thrown at me (besides my age). So I’ve been working towards getting over that hurdle.

This spring I will be teaching an online freshman composition course. I am looking forward to it.

Now I need to get cracking on the course design section of the class.

A great line I couldn’t use

by Dr Davis on October 23, 2009

As I was editing my paper for the Texas Medieval Association conference, I had to take out a section which I really liked. So I am posting it here.

To some extent the poetic adaptations and the Christianization were two parts of a single aim. As Belanoff wrote, “The Judith-poet saw his source through Christian eyes but transmuted that source into Old English poetry through the use of a vernacular idiom deeply steeped in the forms, sounds, and connotative power of Anglo-Saxon poetic language” (253).
