Here is the link to James's presentation please look at it before the class meeting. It is 10 minutes long. jharris4_Presentation_Cyberweek_004.mp4 
I recommend downloading it before viewing it because it is somewhat large.

BTW You can watch the re-mastered 4k version of Ghost in the Shell streaming on Amazon Prime Video

Mercer Xue—Neon Genesis Evangelion
Here is a link to Mercer's presentation, it is a powerpoint with just a soundtrck but no narration. Please look at this before class.  You can probably read through it in about 10 minutes.




This week I am asking you to watch Akira and to read the original Ghost in the Shell Manga which is here:
https://ghostintheshellmanga.com/ 
It is only 11 chapters so you should be able to complete it before we gather virtually on Thursday.

You may also wish to read some of Manga of Akira, Vol. 1 is on the course resource page thanks to Bridgette.

If you are having trouble meeting the new requirements given your change in location or other problems, contact me by email and I can work out a solution for you to allow you to pass the course.  

I look forward to seeing as many of you as can via virtual means on Thursday.  You can access the Zoom meeting either through canvas, there is a link on our course area, or I will be sending out an invitation via email for everyone the night before.



Remember to post your 1-3 page personal manga story on your blog.
Please consult the course blog for future information or email me with any questions.

Emergency Course Information

I am sorry we are having to move to distance learning next week, I will miss seeing you and talking with you in person, but this change is necessary to save as many lives as possible, including mine and possibly yours.  I hope you are all somewhere safe and staying at home.  

I have been giving a lot of thought to how to best proceed from this point and I have changed my mind frequently, but I now have a reasonable plan going forward so here is what I want to do.

First, my main priority is for students to have a reading experience so I am going to ask you to read some specific manga for each week going forward along the lines of what we have planned.  Except for one or two changes, I expect the current schedule of presentations will remain the same.  Please consult the syllabus for the presentation schedule.  We are moving everything back a week and dropping the Week 15 conferences. It now appears that the school will be moving to a S/U i.e. credit/no credit status for the rest of the semester so I will stop issuing letter grades to presentations since that no longer matters, so just do your best with them.  Everyone who has given their presentation already has passed that requirement.  So to pass the class you need to give a presentation, read the required manga for each week, (sometimes there will be a choice) and write a substantial post on your blog responding to the work. I will also ask you to comment on two other blog posts each week.  You will have to respond to the assessment problem, which will come later, and you have to fill out the online course evaluation.

People who have not presented yet will be asked to provide their presentation in the form of a narrated powerpoint or video no more than 15 minutes in length.  I will ask people to view the video and comment on it.  Your comments on these presentations will count towards your necessary two a week. People who are presenting this week need to send me a link to their presentation uploaded into their webspace or on Google docs and I will put that link on the course blog.  Remember to set the permissions to open to the public wherever you put it, if that option is available or you will have to grant permissions to individual people to see it.

I will also hold a class session on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. on Zoom and encourage you to attend.  It will run about an hour, perhaps a bit more.  Attendance is not required but appreciated and hopefully people will continue to attend if they are able. 


I wish you well, do your best to flatten the curve.

How to Record Audio Over a Powerpoint Presentation

Here our Written Instructions

This is the Microsoft Instructions

After you record your presentation you should save it as a powerpoint and as a video file...send me a link to the video file when you post it somewhere so we can all see it.  The video file version is best because then one doesn't need powerpoint to play it correctly on the receiving end.
