Students: This website is an integral resource for each of my English courses at Middle Georgia State. I post most major assignments and a variety of other course materials here for you to access at your convenience. In the frame to the left are links to several pages you should visit on a regular basis, most notably your class's schedule of readings and assignments.

Always feel free to contact me with course-related questions large or small (or to chat about the Atlanta Braves). See me in the office during office hours or by appointment, call me, or email me anytime. Please note that unless I have previously scheduled student conferences, I am usually in my office only during posted office hours.

About Chip

What college is about:

"You are not engaged so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average facilities acquire so as to retain; nor need you regret the hours you have spent on much that is forgotten, for the shadow of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not for knowledge so much as for arts and habits; for the habit of attention, for the art of expression, for the art of assuming at a moment's notice a new intellectual posture, for the art of entering quickly into another person's thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation, for the art of indicating assent or dissent in graduated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the habit of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage and mental soberness. Above all, you go to a great school for self-knowledge."

—William Cory, Eton College, 1861
