Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so pleased that it sounds interesting. I'll post the reading list once I've made my final choices.
To sign up, you must be enrolled at Belmont. However, there are non-degree seeking and continuing education options for enrollment, if you only want to "drop in" for a class or two, and you don't plan to graduate from the university. For some online classes (including mine), you need not be in town or in state (or in the country, for that matter) in order to participate.
Oh Honey! That class sounds fascinating! But I would be too afraid to enroll in one of your classes. I'd be afraid I would be a disappointment. I would thoroughly love to hear about it when your teaching though. I do love anything historically based...which was why I was a history major to begin with. Then I realized I needed something more marketable. So I chose business. Maybe I'll eventually go back to history...I do love it.
Three cheers for history! :) Thanks so much for the kind words re: the class. I'm so glad you think it sounds interesting.
It would be lovely to have you in one of my classes! I have no doubt that you would make a great contribution to the course. But I do like the fact that there are options for auditing so people can "sit in" without actually taking a class for credit. That allows people who are interested to listen in without the pressure of grades and deadlines.
At any rate, your kindness is most appreciated. Thanks for the lovely feedback on my new course idea!
I know exactly what you mean - I know so many teachers now whose classes I'd love to take, if only I were a student! Then again, every time I teach, I learn something, so in a way it's as if I'm still in class myself. :)
..at times I almost dream I, too, have spent a life the sages' way, And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I perished in an arrogant self-reliance Ages ago; and in that act, a prayer For one more chance went up so earnest, so Instinct with better light let in by death, That life was blotted out-not so completely But scattered wrecks enough of it remain, Dim memories, as now, when once more seems The goal in sight again...
References like this are a big reason I fell in love with The X-Files. Thank you for reminding me. *g*

I take not just anyone can sign up to it?
Oh, I certainly would take part in such a course if I had the chance!

I, too, have spent a life the sages' way,
And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance
I perished in an arrogant self-reliance
Ages ago; and in that act, a prayer
For one more chance went up so earnest, so
Instinct with better light let in by death,
That life was blotted out-not so completely
But scattered wrecks enough of it remain,
Dim memories, as now, when once more seems
The goal in sight again...
