Writing a composition syllabus. Like I do every year. Well, most years I revise. This year I am scrapping and starting over. I’ll be using a textbook for the first time. I sort of hate myself. Being a professor whose readings can all be found on JSTOR has always been a point of pride, and my own little vengeance for the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on textbooks. And here I am, using the Norton. I’m writing an intro to lit syllabus next, and I’m going to see if I can pull all the readings from Project Gutenberg. This will be tricky when we get into modern stuff. Maybe throw things on reserve in the library and make sure people know they’re available there.
