The syllabus, accessed by clicking "Syllabus"on the right, announces "Working Class Lit," but in fact it's CW603. I'll be posting poems not available on line and not on e-reserve under "Resources." The e-reserve password is <cwcraft>. Instructions on how to use the site are posted under "Assignments." Your username is the e-mail address up to the @ symbol as it appears under "Student Profiles" and your password is the last 4 digits of your UMS#. For those who have used the system before, your password for this class raises the last digit of your UMS# --i.e., if your # ends 0001, your password is 0002.
