Welcome to English 3010. To get started, you should take a look at our syllabus, which you will find right here. You will also find a link to our course wiki under the blogroll links. You’ll want to check this page often for updates, more links, announcements, and other good things.

From there, you can start editing your own page. Instructions are on the wiki itself. Plan to do this by Thursday’s class.
