This coming semester, Fall 2014, I'll be teaching English 333 (Comics & Graphic Novels) once again. Class begins in about a month, on August 26, and, as always, I've got plenty of preparing to do before then! But as of now, happily, I can share some basic information about the course, including its history, my priorities as a teacher, and the requirements and textbooks for the coming semester.
A capsule introduction to the course, including the official CSUN catalog copy, can be found on the 333 Homepage (which can also be reached through the link in the banner, up top).
More about the intellectual background of the course, including my interests and priorities, can be found on the Intro to 333 page.
A list of assignments and requirements for Fall 2014 can be found on the Course Work page.
Finally, the required books for Fall 2014 are listed on the Books page (which also gives some practical tips about how to shop for the books and minimize expenses).
Students, colleagues, friend, and other interested readers: feel free to use this site's Contact page to send me questions—or comment right on this post! I'll be glad to answer questions about my teaching, the course, and comics studies in general.
333 starts on August the 26th and goes through CSUN's Finals Week, i.e. to about December 16. It will entail critical reading and writing, online posting, cartooning, visiting a comic book shop, shopping around for comics outside of the required reading list, seeking out reviews of comics... lots of different kinds of work! We'll have four new books this time, and at least two substantially new assignments.
