Tips: 1. "Checking Three Weeks at a Time"

           

When you check this page each week, it is helpful to look at 3 weeks: the previous week, to see if you forgot anything; the next week, to see what you need to turn in next; and the week after that, so you know what will be happening.

How To Use This Page

                                                

Your first time here, look carefully at the "General Schedule in Brief" to the left so you have a feel for the stages of history that we will examine, from ancient through the renaissance.  Next, skim a little through the week by week assignments.  Finally,  come back each week and check out what is due.  Assignments are always due in the week assigned.  So, for example, if the assignment is listed in Week 3, then those assignments are actually due by Thursday of Week 3.  Just click on the week number of subject for the week to go quickly down the page to that week's assignments.

Tips 2. "Dealing with All the Assignments"

           

In the first week or two, all the information in this web site can seem rather overwhelming.  However, most people figure it out by the third or fourth week and then are able to take advantage of it. 

       

The key to it is that this web site actually does not require more than other teachers do, but rather it offers a lot more about how to do it than you usually get.  Much of the guesswork is gone because you can find answers to your questions in so many ways. 

          

So, use this web site as a many-faceted information source.  It can be a great help to you.  And in the end, if neither these web pages nor the FAQs page help you, you definitely should email or call me.

Method of Delivery of Assignments for Fully-Online-Only (FOL) Section: 

All assignments (except as otherwise noted) may be delivered by the following methods:

  • delivery to my IHCC office, B-136 (immediately inside the main doors of the business building, make a hard right--my mailbox is beside my office door, in alphabetical order with others)

  • delivery by mail (Richard Jewell, 410 Groveland Ave., #401, Mpls., MN 55403, or to me, B-136, at IHCC's address)

  • delivery by email: please write the subject title of the email as follows:  

    • start with the word "Hum"

    • add the Wk. #

    • state the type of paper

    • for example: "Lit Wk. 10 Comments"

    Also, please write your assignment in the text of an email, and not as an attachment.  This is because it takes me longer to process attachments.  You also can write your weekly paper in MSWord first, then copy and paste it into your email message.)  

  • delivery to my home address near the Guthrie, the Walker, and Loring Park in Minneapolis (see "Contact Richard").

Method of Delivery of Assignments for Face-to-Face (F2F) Section: 

  • If you come to a physical class, the homework is due at the beginning of class (see the exceptions to this in the "Homework" page).

  • If you don't come to class, you may simply bring it to the next class you attend and turn it in at the beginning--and please write a note at the top explaining why it is late (e.g., "Wasn't here last class" or "last week").

  • If you don't come to class, you're also welcome to drop it off in my office or send it by other methods listed next.

Assignments Due for the First Week:

               

(a)   Buy the textbook materials. They listed online, here,  in the "Syllabus," and again in the "Homework" page. 

   
(b)
Read the online "Welcome!" on the home page, the "Syllabus (Course Summary)," and if you are in the fully-online section, the Starting Online" page.   

   
(c)
  Skim through the course Web site and the course Bulletin Board.  You can always access the course Web site by starting at http://Richard.Jewell.net and then going to "Courses, " where you can click on our course name and number.  Also get your online bulletin-board (discussion-board) account started for bulletin-board classes: go to the "Bulletin Boards" page.  

    

(d) Write a "Hello-Richard" Journal (300+ w.): tell me about your experience with and/or interest in the humanities: ancient, Greek, Roman, medieval, and renaissance culture, civilizations, religions, art, etc..  Also, have you have a composition course, yet?  In addition, if you haven't yet used up your 300+ w., it would be fun to hear about your education so far, your life right now, etc. 

    
(e)

(f)
Face-to-face (F2F classes only), due 2nd class day of term: print and turn in, from the Web, a copy of this "1110 Schedule" with your name on it.  You will get this back after I have looked at it and checked it off on the chart of weekly papers.  (Fully-online sections do not have to print and turn this in.)

ONLINE ACTIVITIES: Please go to the "Bulletin Boards" page to see what online activities are due.  Also check your email every week for possible breaking class news.
  
PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE:  The IHCC Theater Department is staging this Shakespeare comedy.  Typically, with good directors (like we have at Inver), school plays are productions that promise a mix of excellent acting and so-so acting, usually with at least one or two parts being played so well that the entire play is well worth it, especially if you are seeing the play for the first time.  The play will start at 7:30 or 8 pm (time to be announced) in the Fine Arts Theater.  The Fine Arts building is the northernmost building, at the "top" of the mall at IHCC, nearest 80th Street.  The best parking will be in or near the parking lot just north of the building.  There is one parking lot right by the building, and another one just up the hill 50 yards or so.  You will be attending the play on your own, so you may pick any one of the four nights.  Bring anyone you want; you can get in free with your IHCC ID, but non-IHCC people may have to pay a small admission fee (a few dollars, not much).  I'll post or email you more info when it becomes available.

ASSIGNMENTS DUE THURS. OF WEEK 15:

none.
Turn in
all attendance makeup for Weeks 1-14.  

Read this assignment carefully several times: Write 2000-w. typed (but unedited) Rough-Draft II (from your Rough-Draft I) of your Final Project.  Be sure to get it in on time: you'll lose 1/3 of a letter grade if it's late, and 2/3 if it's not done at all before the Final Project.  Also, be sure it is a full 2000 words, or you'll lose some of your credit for it.  (It must be 2000 w. total--or 1000 w. added to the previous 1000-word RD I.  You may have quotations/paraphrases in your RD II, but they are not yet required.)

           

IF YOU'RE DOING A COMBINED WRITTEN AND ORAL/ONLINE VISUAL REPORT: There are no physical presentation times available this year because there is no physical evening section this year.  Any combined written and visual reports must be online/electronic reports.  See the requirements in our Web site's "Final Project" section.  

         

CLASS = INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATIONS (optional): There is no regular class BB activity this week: instead, there are optional individual consultations in Richard's office.  Bring your RD-I AND RD-II to your consult., if you have a consultation.  You get required class credit for coming; if you do not attend a consultation, then the other option is to do an alternative activity: do the same that you would if you needed to make up or do extra credit for one 75-minute class.  Label it "Consultation Replacement" and get it to me by Friday afternoon of Week 16, no later.  On attendance, your consultation (or replacement papers) will count as one X (or one 0's if you miss it).

Write
and turn in the Final Project (D-III) with quotations in bold and the main thesis sent. in the intro underlined.  
When is it due?  It is due on the last day of official Finals at IHCC
--by Thurs., Dec. 20 by email or brought to my house; but (if it is turned in by hand at Inver, then it is due under my office door by  Tues., Dec. 18, 3 pm). 
Are there any special preparations?  Yes!!!  Please label the parts with quotations in bold and the main thesis sent. in the intro underlined (or if you turn it in a physical copy, you can simply write a "Q" in the margin beside each quotation and underline the main thesis sent. in the intro by hand).
               
How should you deliver the final project? 
 

  1. At my office: You may simply turn it into my office by the due date and time above, with the labeling done.  

  2. By mail: You can use the postal mail to mail it to my home so it arrives at my house by the last day of exams For it to arrive at my house by then, you can either (1) send it a week ahead of time by regular mail, (2) or send it by Priority Mail (about $3.50) two days before, or (3) send it by Express/One Day Mail (about $12.00?) 24 hrs. before.  My address is 410 Groveland Ave., #401, Minneapolis, MN 55403.

  3. In person: You also can deliver your paper to my house, with labeling done, anytime until 9 p.m. on the day above, or deliver it between 9 p.m. and 12 midnight at my condo's front 24-hr. office at the building next door to mine in 400 Groveland Ave.  If you deliver it between 9 p.m. and midnight, please send me an email or leave me a phone message that you have done this; the security guards at the front office at night often forget to leave me a message that I have a delivery.

  4. By Internet: Do not send the paper to me as an email, and do not send it to me as an attachment unless you have labeled the parts correctly (with quotations in bold and the main thesis sent. in the intro underlined) on the computer and you send it with the subject title "1110 GRADED PAPER."   If you do the labeling and know how to do an attachment, you may send it this way.  However, let me warn you that if you have used "MS Works" (instead of MS Word) to prepare it, your formatting quite possibly will be lost, it will look terrible to me when I get it, and you will, as a result, lose points for incorrect typing/formatting.  I also should warn you that sometimes attachments sent by old Apples and miscellaneous other programs don't get through properly, in which case I will email or call you and tell you there is a problem and I need a copy physically mailed.  Usually, though, anything done in MS Word--using Windows 95 or later or Mac--will come through properly.   There is one more exception: if you write it in MS Word 2007, you cannot save it automatically--you'll have to go to the "save as" function, then save it as a "1997-2003 Word Document" (or something similar).  Otherwise, I won't be able to open it. It is due by midnight of the day above. 

-End of Weekly Schedule-

                            

Submitting weekly papers by email?  

            (1) Please make them in-text--in the text of your email itself--not attached. That means you should simply write them as an email message or, if you already have them on a word processing file, you should use your mouse and your "Edit" function to mark, then "Copy," and then "Paste" them into a regular email message. 

            (2) To help me keep your paper separate from my regular email, use this subject title: Course #  & section #, the Week Due, Assignment Type, and Name+Initial: e.g., "1111-99 Wk. 5 Comments Sue J.,"  

            (3) Always keep a copy until after the end of the course when you've received your course grade. 

            (4) If you send me an email message (other than homework), please write "Question" in the subject line so I'll open it right away.  Be sure your full name is somewhere in the email, too.  And in the first several weeks, please remind me which course and section you're in.  I ask this because I receive several dozen homework assignments each week by email, and I only open homework once or twice per week.  (5-04)

DESCRIPTION:  

The review in the STAR TRIBUNE for this play was very positive, especially for the two lead actors playing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.  The lead actor, playing the murderous king Macbeth, has appeared on TV a number of times in such shows as “Law & Order”; and the lead actress, playing Macbeth’s equally dangerous wife, is also the leader of the whole acting company that is performing the play.  Both are well accomplished professionals and have appeared together at the Guthrie in a couple of recent well-received plays there.  According to the “Star Tribune” paragraph about it, “Stacia Rice and Sean Haberle—principals in the Guthrie’s “’Jane Eyre’ marathon last year—are Mr. and Mrs. Naked Ambition in Torch Theater’s production of Shakespeare’s play.  This is one of those rare opportunities to watch prominent actors work well in a small theater.  The proximity to stage and actor is a real treat.  David Mann directs.”

---

PHYSICAL MEETING: We will meet at the Science Museum of Minnesota, in downtown St. Paul, at about 6 pm for a tour that begins about 6:15.  This will be a self-guided, individual-recording voice tour using a listening device as you go through the travelling Pompeii Exhibit at the museum.  You will see a number of artifacts that actually were frozen in time, so to speak, when Mt. Vesuvius erupted unexpectedly and covered the nearby well-to-do merchant city of Pompeii in tens of feet of ash.  This travelling exhibit is visiting the Twin Cities for only a few months.  Please do not wander off by yourself, or walk through the exhibit without actively using the listening device.  You will need to use the listening device step by step to get credit for your time in the exhibit, and very little else outside of the exhibit applies to our humanities class, as this is a modern science museum.  Also, please be sure to return to the designated meeting place at the designated time for instructions on how to do "Part II" of the evening--there are one or two additional exhibits in the museum that we will visit as a group and discuss as a group while we view them.  Directions: http://www.smm.org  (If you absolutely must be late, let me know ahead of time what time you will show up.  Then I can come and find you in the lobby at that time, and guide you to our tour.)            

                

PHYSICAL MEETING: We will meet at an area private college to attend the ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata by the first great comedic playwright Aristophanes.  I have taken student groups to this play in the past, and students usually love it.  It is wildly funny and surprisingly germane to current issues, even though it was written well over 2000 years ago.  The play will be in the evening, and the cost will probably be in the $5-10 range.  I am investigating details and will report them when I know more.
