Comments: Sneak Peek

Fantastic use of that image. Looks like a cool class. I'm now very curious about the Speigelman book.

Thanks, Chuck. Took me a little digging to find the link, and fortunately the image was still there. Go check your search log--you'll see my footprints.

Class looks rad; image is great. And damn I'm glad you're teaching Auster.

For me, the center text bled behind the right column when the window wasn't maximized - might need a CSS tweak?

Yes, it seems to be an issue in IE at least. Anyone know the easy fix?

Looks great... I finally got Movable Type working myself. Not as fancy as yours, but I think the students will be duly engaged and impressed:

ENGL101: http://www.otal.umd.edu/~edchang/1313/
UNIV100: http://www.otal.umd.edu/~edchang/0826/

Your class has inspired more blogs!
Cheers,

Bah, I want to take it... why 400-level? :> (Seriously, I haven't seen any postmodernism classes at the grad level yet... we're doing a bit of it in 20th Century, but not much.)

Jess - as I recall, you can take one 400-level course as a 600-level course.

Ed: cool!

Jess: thanks . . .

Jason: shhh.

Oi! Are you saying you don't WANT me in your class? :>

Matt,

Very clever use of catchy and witty labelling. Is that use of the "False Consciousness" label for the contact info for the instructor a comment on the frequent positioning by students of the professorial voice as the Superego?

Something like that. ;-)
