Final Extra Credit
My advice to future students in the class is to make sure you keep up on the readings and the posts. If you miss one or get behind on any of the readings, you find yourself unable to add to class discussion and missing one or more posts that relate to a previous post. I'd also say it's good advice to ask questions, because Ms. Fishman does a good job answering them.
The reading is valuable, and paying attention to the reading/watching is very valuable. I found myself getting distracted and more or less skimming sometimes, which lead to me not being able to pick up on certain things other people in the class would pick up on, or I would have difficulty trying to recall what I was looking for when I was using in text quotes.
New students can expect (though I suspect it's slightly slower during a full semester) a full work load. I took this and one other internet course and spent about 75% of my time working for this class. The work isn't necessarily harder than any other class, it just requires a lot of thought and there is always plenty of work to do.
I got the opportunity to read a few very good books that I would not have ordinarily read. Even found a subtitled german flick that I would've never looked into without this class. The opportunity to broaden my horizons and think outside of the box.
To prepare for this class, but all the books as fast as possible and if you can watch the movies ahead of time. Also be prepared to contribute to class discussion and don't be afraid to ask questions. Other than that, hope you are a decently fast reader.
