The class is off and running! Over half the students have set up their blogs and signed up for the listserv. Several have accessed the class wiki and tried it out. So by Sunday, the first day of the second week, everyone should be ready to read, blog, and take the first quiz.
There's plenty to blog about in the first few chapters. I like how the author discusses images and definitions of theory in Chapter 1 and defines communication. He personalizes the theory process, which makes it more accessible and less mysterious.
So read Chapters 1-3 this week, post your first blog entry, and comment on others' blogs. Week 1 isn't graded, but it's good to get into the blogging habit right away.

So far I have read Chapter 1 in the textbook. I do like how the author uses a conversational style - makes it much easier to follow along. I also wanted to say that the practice quizzes through the textbook site really help understand the process because they show you the correct answer so you can go back and reread the part that you originally got wrong.
I'm glad you're finding the textbook website useful. It's one of the reasons I chose this text. There are still textbooks published without companion websites. That seems so 20th century.
