Welcome!

Welcome to ENG252 Introduction to Multicultural Literature. I’m Professor Savonick (or Danica), and I’m looking forward to our semester together!

In order to ensure a smooth start to the semester, I’d like you to please do the following:

1) Obtain the five required books for the course. Physical copies are recommended for annotation.

2) Read through the attached syllabus. As you do this, start thinking about which readings look most interesting to you so you can sign up to blog for our discussion of that text. 

3) Register for our course website. It’s a work in progress and materials will be added throughout the semester. 

Instructions for registering can be found in the syllabus. I need to manually approve your registration, which can take a few days, so the sooner you register, the better. Please be sure to write down the username and password you select. 

Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday, January 24.
