Popular Culture

Welcome to the COM 290 page.  I hope you find the resources gathered here useful.  Let me begin by telling you what is NOT on the site and why.  First, I don't have a lot of links to each concept we will discuss.  Ideally, teachers, like parents, help you grow so we are no longer needed.  Ultimately, you need to learn to search the web for sources on these concepts.  That will be a key to your success in class and in life--finding what you need.  Second, I don't put my PowerPoint or lecture notes on the site.  Listening skills, note taking skills and attendance are things that should be rewarded.  Please visit during my office hours or email me if you want clarification or missed something in a class you attended.
