In a brief message, introduce yourself to your classmates. Let us know a little bit about your background, your experiences (or lack there of)with on-line education and with world cultures, your major, your family, your hobbies, or whatever you think will help us see the person behind the name that appears on the screen. |

I'll start. I'm Dody Welsh-Parris, and I'm really looking forward to working with you in this setting, and on this topic of World Literature. I've been teaching online classes for four years now, teaching at Chesapeake since 1989, and started teaching college English classes in 1981 when I was a teaching assistant at the University of Maryland getting my Master's in English. I am currently working on my PhD at UMBC and hope to be finished within the next two years. When I'm not online (and my husband isn't sure there's enough time when this is true), I enjoy gardening, biking, being on the water, reading, cooking watching what some people tell me are weird films, and hanging out with my friends and family. There are never enough hours in the day! Summer is my favorite season, spring and fall do nicely as well, and I'm NOT fan of cold weather (unless it snows enough to stop life on the Shore as we know it while we all hibernate). Looking forward to getting to know you in class. |

Hello, my name is Rhonda Knotts and I am a full time student here at Chesapeake College. I have been attending classes here since 1993 and I am graduating with an AA in Human Services in the Spring of 2003. I am very excited about that and still find the idea to be somewhat "surreal". I hope to go on and earn a bachelor's degree in social work, and am would love to be a children's counselor in the future. I own and operate my own day care out of my basement in our home which we renovated about four years ago. I love working with children and it is a little hard to imagine not doing day care, but I can see myself working with children on a totally different level. This is my fourth internet class, and my second with Ms. Welsh-Parris. Taking a course via the internet allows me the opportunity to fit another class in my schedule while juggling other classes and working full time. I have had a lot of success with my classes over the internet and I hope to be just as successful this time. I look forward to being in this class with you and learning about World Literature together. Good Luck !! |

Hello, my name is Cathy Paul. I have had a class before with Mrs. Welsh-Parris. I have taken an internet class before which I failed so lets hope it goes better this time! At least I have a good instructor unlike last time. This is my 2nd year of college and I graduate this spring. I am 19 years old. I am a teller at a bank and I like in Cambridge. I am very stressed right now because my fiance and I are in the process of buying a house. I hope this class is interesting which Im sure it will be. |

Hi everyone. My name is Rhodesia Jackson and I am a student at Chesapeake College majoring in liberal arts and Sciences. I plan to recieve my AA degree this spring and transfer (somewhere) and major in secondary education. At the present time I work full-time a Dorchester General Hospital in Cambridge as the secertary/aide in the Rehabilitation Services department. My job is quite a learning experience. Also I am a single mother with two daughter age 12 and 8. They help to keep me motivated. This is not my first internet course but what I have learned from prior experience is that it takes more time than a regular course and you need to find and make time everyday to connect and be a part of the course. I am looking foward to a sucessful semester and I wish you all the same. |

Howdy! I'm Megan Powell and this is my second Internet course with Ms. Welsh-Parris. I'm also taking Abnormal Psychology online this term. I'm hoping to transfer to Washington College after this year to study creative writing. I'm a full time student living with my mother. She is also going back to college so together with my oldest sister and myself there are three college students in our home. It should be an interesting year at the Powell house. When I'm not doing schoolwork, I like to read, write, draw, and play video games. |

Hi everyone! My name is Jenn Mancinelli. I have been attending Chesapeake for almost 3 years now (I started just going part time). Mostly everything that I do revolves around school and work. (I love my summers) - but I know it will pay off one day. I have taken one other online class and enjoyed the convience of it greatly. I am currently taking 2 this semester in hopes to spend my time wisely. I love traveling and I love literature - I just never seem to have time for it - so I figured if I kept taking classes on it it would force me to enjoy it a little more. |

Hello, all. I am the always-late, yet frequently great Zach Bowman. I am a total net junky and this is my 6th net class, my 3rd with Professor Welsh-Parris (that is if you want to include the first one that I attempted and subsequently dropped.) Right now I am on my 5th major, I think, and I am intensely considering changing back to the thing I first started going to college for, graphic design. I still live with my parents. My indecisiveness has lead to it taking me 3 years to get a 2 year degree even though I’ve been a full time student the whole time. I’ve never left the country (being the USA) yet I know an awful lot of foreigners. I work for a non-profit agency as a sort of “low rent” counselor and I enjoy meditating, art of all kinds especially when the value of it is questionable, and Aikido. Should the urge hit you I have an email at realbigmonkey@hotmail.com or can be instant messaged over aol with the screen name Jaskler. Anyways it is nice to meet you all! |

Hi everybody, my name is Robin Keen and I am from Chestertown. I attend Wesley College in Dover Delaware in which I commute. My major is elemtary education and I am currently enrolled in five other classes at Wesley. I took a internet course last year with Dody and loved it. I managed to take time to take other courses at Wesley as well as take her internet course. Sometimes in college, your courses are not always scheduled back to back so in this case last year I spent the gaps between my classes to log on to this class or do homework. Even if I only had 15 minutes to log on I would still try to log on to see if anyone new had replied to the discussion. Robin |

Hello to all my fellow classmates! My name is Bryan States (go figure..you did click on that name). Last semester I had ENG 102 with Dody Parris (it's something in the name..I love saying that :) I have been attending chesapeake for a little over two years thus far and plan to transfer to Salisbury State after completing this semester. My job still remains at Black and Decker (as it did for the last three years) but I assume that will change in time. Presently, I have three online and two on-campus courses. I love having such convenient learning. I cant say I have too much experience with other cultures because I have never left the United States (although some will argue that the eastern shore is a country of it's own). Well, I will talk to everyone very shortly. Enjoy the class! |
