Before the First Class

The new website for this course is now open.  There are active links to the Course FAQ and to the Weekly Schedule for this Course which links to the Teaching Modules for each of the 15 weeks of the course.  Currently only 3 modules are open, but this is sufficient to start reading and writing for the course anytime you want to start.  The point system is explained in the FAQ.  You have to create a blog on Blogger and write your responses there before you earn points for the reading you do. You can start by going to the Landing Page here.

Before coming to the first class please read The Comic Book History of Comics.  You should also read The Arrival by Shaun Tan.  There are other readings on the first Activity Page which is here.   You have to use your Ringling username and password to access the activity pages and the course resources.  There are links to Reading resources on the activity pages and on the Course Resource Page.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at dsteilin@c.ringling.edu.

If you will be studying this semester online while living outside the U.S. let me know if you will have trouble accessing these sites.  I will try to work things out so you don't have to use a VPN if it is illegal for you to do so. Email me about your situation. 

I do not use Canvas for this course.  There will be links on Canvas to the course sites.

The website for this course has been completely revised to better facilitate online learning.  If you find any dead links or other errors please let me know and I will fix them as soon as possibler.
