Coursera: Fantasy and Science Fiction (Summer 2012) discussion

I've watched all the currently available video clips for this class and I'm still in the dark about how we are actually going to submit our writings. Is there some content I'm missing?

If you're on the Class page there are a couple of options on your left. One of them is Peer Responses.
That's where the assigments will be found.
The option to go and write/submit your essay will only be visible during the time that we can actually submit it. This is also where you'll be able to do your peer reviews.

I know this all seems a little vague but trust me, it will make a lot more sense once the page has actually 'opened up' for submissons, reviewing etc.

Thank you for the response!

Thank you for asking that! I was feeling very stupid there.

Another question which I also feel daft for asking - where on earth is the forum? I don't seem to be able to find a link to it anywhere.

You're welcome Jute

Don't feel daft! That's also supposed to be among the options on the left, but it's not there (yet). Guess it will be up sometime in the next days...

Phew. I do wish they'd put these things in the FAQ, they seem like pretty glaring omissions. Thanks :)

I wonder how many people have signed up? I saw another course had something like 40,000 people! That's astonishing.

Has anyone seen anything "official" about when the first essay is due?

I read the Thursday/Tuesday schedule on the Work Expectations page, but since they released the Grimm Intro on Monday instead of Thursday - do they expect us to have an essay for tomorrow? Yikes!

Nope, the first essay is due next Tuesday.
