The list below indexes several areas of that improvement. I have listed those activities under the general scholarship category instead of in this section. I have had a chance to teach all but one of those classes at least twice, indicating a kind of success. Several of these classes have supporting web sites. One of the major assignments requires students to interpret a story from Greek, Roman, or Egyptian mythology and tell it in Absolon Lounge.
Students also study myth from literary, personal, archetypal, and anthropological perspectives.
In a section of this course in fall 1995 I first required students to write a hypertext document. Creating this class was a collaborative project with the computer science faculty. I wrote the course objectives and taught one of the sections during the first semester of the course's existence. I designed and continue to improve this class to provide students with training in writing and designing documents for the Internet. This step helps direct me to maintain focus on those macroscopic institutional goals, and it helps introduce students to a significant part of their education.
