Hammond,obviously a scholar, would allow his internet students to appreciate his erudition if he focused more on an explication of the text(poems). I feel an inordinate period of time in his lectures in the Modern American Poetry course is spent on background material: biography, philosophy, psychology, meter, scansion. Short shrift was given to examining the text of "The Love Song of J.

The transcripts and readings are priceless for those of us who learn by reading not by listening. However, printing some of the transcripts is like printing the last line of an optometrists eye chart. In addition some of the transcripts cannot be printed at all or print with dropped words and lines at the right side. I can&amp;#39t seem to get around this glitch. I have contacted you before but nothing seems to change.</p>M.
