I include course syllabi, my course policies, a few sample assignments. I had greater ambitions when I made it about including everything on there, and doing fun links for each course, etc., but this was unrealistic. Also, given the way that Blackboard has taken off at my uni, I find that I'm typically posting more there because students are used to going there. But I like that students who haven't taken me before can get a sense of what to expect before they enroll in a course with me.<BR/><BR/>2) The other audience would be other academics - people looking for sample syllabi, etc., when they're teaching a new course. It's a whole "pay it forward" thing, because how helpful has it been to me to see other people's syllabi on line?<BR/><BR/>I also have my cv posted, as well as some other stuff about stuff I've done research-wise, as well as some links for students who are considering grad school, and links for how to get to the writing center, about declaring the major, etc.<BR/><BR/>Given all of the above, I'm not sure I need anything fancier than what I've got - I'd just like it if it looked more polished. Problematically, I do not have time to make it look more polished right now. That said, I'm pretty happy with the info on it. It's just a matter of at some point sitting down to make it look nicer than it looks. Someday, perhaps.Dr. Crazyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-82243082773700848102008-10-08T21:54:00.000-04:002008-10-08T21:54:00.000-04:00Re: #1, what do you use your professional website for, or how do you suspect that other folks use it? I ask because I've had a lame professional website for a couple of years now, and I just don't really know what to do with it, partly because I think I don't know exactly why I have one or what its function is.What Now?http://www.blogger.com/profile/04017629066466055668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-8130417116687383502008-10-07T20:06:00.000-04:002008-10-07T20:06:00.000-04:00woo! i know what the crazy sounds like! <BR/><BR/>also, i might be kind of fascinated with your author.
