Subject: Humanities computing courses

Because of the imminent publication of the first CD-ROM
disks of the Archivo Digital de Manuscritos y Textos
Espan~oles (ADMYTE), I am with some trepidation planning
to offer a course next year on computerized studies of
Spanish language and literature, i.e., a course on
humanities computing but focussed exclusively on Spanish.
Since I am not a programmer and do not plan to turn myself
into one, the focus will be on the use of off-the-shelf
programs.

I would be grateful for any model syllabi or recommendations.
I know that this has been a recurring topic on some lists,
so if the owners could point me in the right direction I will
be glad to use ftp or listserv commands to recover relevant
materials from the archives.

Many thanks,

Charles Faulhaber
UC Berkeley

P.S. The first CD-ROM for ADMYTE is scheduled to be released at the end
of this month. I will be in Spain from 6/23 to 7/13 and will report back
on its exact status on my return.

Subject: Independent Study by E-mail

The department of independent study at the University of Minnesota
is considering the use of E-mail in connection with its
courses. I am interested in knowing whether anyone is familiar with
correspondence courses done by E-mail, lesson submissions by E-mail,
grade submissions by E-mail or the like. Please include specific
contact information with your response so that our administrators
can get particulars from your institution if needed. Thank you.

I would like to establish an email contact with Professor David Culbert.
He is editor-in-chief of _Film and Propaganda in America_ and he used to
teach at Louisiana State University.

If list members happen to have his email address, would you be so kind as
to share it with me?

The following was posted on EXLIBRIS. Any suggestions as to the meaning
of the phrase "He knew his fork"?
