Btw... I just checked out the syllabus for my 18th Century Poetry and Prose class, and it was so incredibly redonc, that I had to write something about it. The class is supposed to have a large online componant, but I think the Professor might have gone insane over the holidays. Out of his mind. Here are exerpts from the syllabus:

Required Materials

Computer access; iPod or mp3 player or access to computer to listen to podcasts; registration with twitter.com; ability to print and/or electronically access tests for in-class and online discussion.

Yes. That's right. You read that correctly. TWITTER. TWITTER!!!!

How to Register and Use Twitter

I have registered for twitter in order to be able to communicate with you all outside of class discussion, email, and telephone. I would like you all to register to "follow" me so that I can send updates as needed to your cellphones as text messages. I will not abuse the issue, I promise, and you can also have updates sent to email (if for some reason you do not have a cell phone).

I have so few words for this... WTF being among the most prominent. WHAT SITUATION COULD POSSIBLY ARISE THAT WOULD REQUIRE MY 18TH CENTURY POETRY AND PROSE PROFSSOR TO NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH US OUTSIDE OF CLASS THAT AND EMAIL WOULDN'T BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR???!?!?!?!?!?!!!
