Jeff Allred (he/him/his) on I’ve just created a screencast that demonstrates how to post (and find other resources) on the Commons:

It may take a few minutes to upload (it’s Tuesday at 2pm right now) but will help those who are not yet familiar with WordPress and the Commons.
Jeff Allred (he/him/his) on As promised, we’ll spend a few minutes on Friday talking through Jonathan Culler’s very useful introduction to literary theory. Here are the slides:

Jeff Allred (he/him/his) on Hi 306/301 students:
Two quick things as we move towards Opening Day on Friday:
1. You are encouraged, but not obliged, to read Jonathan Culler’s introduction to “theory” here. I’ll digest some of its main ideas on Friday, but I think you’ll find it useful to orient yourselves before we dive in the deep water with Nietzsche for Tuesday.
2. You are also welcome (but not required) to introduce yourselves to me and to each other via Padlet, using the whimsical prompt I’ve created.
Jeff Allred (he/him/his) on This is just to welcome you to English 306/COMPL 301 this semester. Take a look around: you can get a sense of the assignments and expectations via the syllabus and what we’re read and when via the schedule. Feel free to reach out via email with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you later this month.
