In addition to the links I mentioned a few days ago, Blue Cord is also a place for other resources.  One of these is the collection of syllabi, handouts, and Power Point presentations I am trying to build up.  A number of scholars have places on their site where they keep their course materials.  But instead of me just having my materials, I hope to have resources from several scholars, so people can see approaches other than mine.  I would also like this to be a place where scholars can see how other people approach the same courses they are teaching and perhaps pick up some pointers and new ideas.

As Tyler Williams has pointed out, we are all currently in the middle of gearing up for the fall semester, which means writing new syllabi.  While we are doing this and it is fresh on our minds, I would like to take this opportunity to invite scholars to upload their syllabi to Blue Cord.  All you need to do is create an account (free!), log in, and upload your material.  While you are there, you can also check out the other materials that are available and perhaps get some ideas for courses you will be teaching.  Right now, most of the material is mine with one offering by Steve Cook, but I hope that will soon change.

I look forward to seeing your syllabi (and not just because it will help me write my own!).
