Introductory message

Welcome, everyone, to English 2010--the Internet version. To get started in the class, follow the instructions at the bottom of this page. After you log on to our class web site, read the course description immediately. Please note that you will not be able to access our class until the first day of the semester.

 

We will use Microsoft Word in this class, so be sure that you have access to a recent version of that word processor. No other word processor will work for this class.

 

Our first written assignment for the semester will be to introduce yourself to your classmates. Go to our discussion board to do this as soon as you can sign in.

Check out the "Helpful Web Sites" page. It contains a link to the college's writing center; it also contains some valuable information about writing in general.


Finally, things can be a bit frustrating during the first week. Some of you are waiting for books or software to be sent to you. Others have never taken an Internet course before. If you are a little nervous at first, just bear with it, and soon enough everything will go smoothly.

 

Whenever you have any questions, email me at jantzen@dixie.edu .  You can also call me at (435) 652-7828 or toll-free at 1-877-DIXIE-50 (1-877-349-4350).
