  1. I post background materials on all of the texts for the class. These are essays meant to take the place of in-class lectures. I strongly recommend that you read this material to help you with your understanding of the literature and for your exams.
  2. 2.0 2.1 Be sure you read the seed prompts on this week’s material even if you do not respond to them. Then, ask one question and respond to at least one thread and/or question. This is the minimum participation on Packback to meet your writing requirement. See the outline of the week above for guidance on how to approach your writing on Packback.
  3. Like most of the videos in this class, this documentary is available via Films on Demand. You will be prompted to login to your MGA account if you’re not on campus.
