Dear Hum 211 students:

1. Finding Hum 211 webpages (e.g. on Keita, on Discussion #1 & etc.), since at the Keita film viewing this morning, several students mentioned having trouble finding one or another of the Hum 211 webpages. I checked links, etc., on my Hum 211 webpages when I got home this afternoon and did discover that some of the navigational links were not working properly--which may have been part of the problem. (I've now done some web link repair work and hope that said links are now working properly (but if you find any that are not working or are not going to where they say they are supposed to go, please let me know! Thanks, Cora). I've listed below selected Hum 211 webpages and URL's relevant to our impending Discussion #1 assignment and Keita:

Discussion #1 (Report Topic choices & directions, how to get to the online Discussion #1 forum so that you can post your Reports, and follow-up Response directions):
http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/assignments/Discussion1.htm

HUM 211 Discussion #1 Forum (Where you go to webpost your Discussion #1 Reports and Responses, with Directions for how this "framed" discussion forum works and how to post your reports & responses. And if you can't figure it out, EMAIL CORA!!)
http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/discussions/disc1_frm.htm

Course Plan (for assignment deadlines and links to assignment directions webpages, etc. Be sure to "reload" or "refresh" this page when you revisit, because I am constantly activating links, & etc.)
http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/courseplan.htm

Keita Film Notes:
http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/coursepack/keita.htm

Other online readings (relevant to Weeks #1 & #2 topics) are indexed and linked from the HUM 211 Course Pack table of contents (Be sure to "reload" or "refresh" this page when you revisit, because I am constantly adding new resources, activating links, & etc.):
http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/coursepack/index.htm

TV Meeting Notes ( e.g. if you miss any televised class meetings so far, want to review what we did, links and URLs for relevant webpages discussed, etc.)
TV Meeting Notes Index Page: http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/TVmeetings/index.htm
Week #1: http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/TVmeetings/wk1.htm
Week #2: http://www.cocc.edu/cagatucci/classes/hum211/TVmeetings/wk2.htm

2. Make sure you're viewing the latest version of Hum 211 webpages. Also when you do get to the right webpage, remember the webtip to "refresh" or "reload" the web page in your internet browser everytime you revisit a webpage. (Otherwise, what you will see is the "cached" or saved version of the webpage as it was when you last visited.) Sometimes--depending on your Internet Service Provider and internet browser--it will take a while for the browser to "refresh" or "reload" (i.e. if you sit there in a panic clicking refresh/reload but the webpage is not changing, you may just need to give it a rest for a few minutes and try again a bit later.

Meanwhile, if you can't get to something you need, do not despair--EMAIL CORA!! Tell me what's going on and we'll work out a solution.

3. The Hum 211 Grade Reports to date have not yet been sent. But I've got the grade file set up now, so you should be hearing from me individually, via email, in the next day or two (e.g. re: points awarded for your week #1 E-Mail Dialogue). on Keita and/or the Discussion #1 assignment.
Revised Announcement: I'm having trouble with the email function of my Micrograde software, and I may go instead to a password-protected WebGrade option for keeping you informed of your Hum 211 course grade.
Meanwhile, NOTE that on Sun., 1/20/02, I sent out individual grade reports (to date) to all Hum 211 students (the old fashioned, labor-intensive way).
If you didn't get your email, please contact Cora!

4. Your Discussion #1 Report Topic assignment: I also send out an "all points bulletin" group Email to all of you (using the Email addresses that I have for you) earlier today making/confirming Discussion #1 Report Topic assignments. If you have a question or concern or alternative request to make about your assignment, please EMAIL me!!

5. If you missed this morning's viewing of the rest of Keita, please EMAIL me (if you haven't already)!!

I appreciate your patience and interest in African cultural studies! Thanks, and have a safe and productive weekend!

Cora
