Read and Respond to Chapter One of Hayles

All you need to do by next Monday is read and respond to chapter one of Hayles. It will keep you engaged -- I know you probably will want to turn to other distractions -- I want to keep you focused on the most ambitious part of the course that will take all of October.

So for next Monday -- or perhaps next Thursday [since I think we pushed the dues date a bit -- am I correct?] ...

1. Read Hayles’ Electronic Literature, Chapter one [for part 1 of assignment].
2. Take notes.
3. Look at your notes, find patterns, and add your own research.
4. Outline Hayles’ argument.
5. Write a clear and concise 500 word essay on chapter one – jam packed with information and avoiding wordiness.
Due Dates:
Post the final project by week ten of the semester, but start reading chapter one, take notes, and post just the 500 word essay [1-2 pages] by next Monday October 13, 2008.

Correction to Due Date, Apologies

Thanks to John B. for noticing the error in the due date. Obviously, that date is incorrect. I think you were to do some of the parts now and some later. I wanted to post the entire module now so that you would have about a month to work on it.

The work for module 3 is not due until the end of October or the beginning of November [I'll have to check my calendar to figure out when week ten falls].
