Comm 128

The class read the syllabus and did paired introductions.

The book situation is very unclear. Some students were able to purchase the book as early as January 16th. Other students were told the bookstore does not have the book. The instructor was told on the afternoon before class (January 29th )that the bookstore had 18 copies. Here are a couple places where the book is for sale:


  • buy at this site for 73.60 and return before 6/30 and get 36.80 back. Book cost is then 36.80
The classroom issue is cleared up. Go to room 323. It has an overhead computer projector. Students may be able to go to a computer lab to try out the techniques shown in class.

We will not be using the book for the first two weeks of class. Instead, we will focus on getting started on the media theory/paper and the annotated bibliography.
