On-Line Class Discussion

There is a web-based discussion site for Classics 15. To access this forum go to the College's Caucus Center and click on "self-register." After following the instructions, click to see the list of all available conferences and join the "Classics 15 Fall 2006" conference.

Note: If you are registered in this section you can log in, choose a username and password, and become a full member of the conference, where you can post comments and questions at any time. If you are not registered in this section, you may still join our Caucus conference, but you will have "read-only" privileges.

When you join Caucus, you will be asked to provide some information about yourself. You may provide as much or as little information as you wish, but you MUST give your full name so that everyone will be able to tell who is posting what.

For instructions on using Caucus, click here. You can get hands-on help in using Caucus by going to the Library Cafe at any time. Just ask the staff to help you.

I hope that you will enjoy this kind of discussion. In an on-line conference everyone can participate at their own pace, and at a time of their own choosing. If you thought of a great comment after class was over--or maybe you almost raised your hand but didn't, or you raised your hand and I didn't see you--there is no such problem here. What's more, it's easy to review what others have said already, so that you can build on it and move the discussion forward.

The success of our Caucus discussions depends on you. Also, the more you participate, the more credit you will receive--up to 5% added to your final grade in the course.
