Webb African American Review Summer, 2001 by Eric Gardner Given the relative commonality of Frank Webb's nameand the fact that he did not always list his middle initial and sometimes went by Francissome biographers have tended to confuse him with others named F. Webb, Frank Webb, Francis Webb, etc. The author Frank J. Webb is not, for example, as some critics (including Reid-Pharr [xiv]) have asserted, the Francis J. Webb who worked as an agent of two short-lived Black newspapers, Freedom's Journal and Rights for All and lived in Philadelphia in the 1820s (1820 U.S. Census), although, as Lapsansky points out (35), this Francis Webb could be the father of the author Webb. The Frank J. Webb who wrote The Garies was born in the Philadelphia area in the late 1820smost probably, based on collation of the four records that list his age, in the Summer of 1828 (1850, 1870, and 1880 U.S. Censuses; Passenger Lists of Boston).

Extractions: ENGL 223 MODERN AFRICAN-AMERICAN LITERATURE IDEAL PROGRAM COURSE SYLLABUS Dear Student, The IDEAL degree-completion program is designed with the adult learner in mind. Adult learners approach learning with specific goals, want to be able to directly apply new learning to their work and personal lives, and tend to learn best when the coursework is problem-centered so that they are actively engaged in the learning process. In addition, adults bring rich and varied experience to the classroom, which becomes a valuable learning resource for other students. The IDEAL Program assumes joint responsibility in the learning process . The activities and assignments in our classes build on the shared experience of all learners in each class. This is why each students preparation, participation and interaction in class activities and discussions are critical to the success of each course. The accelerated format of each course requires a significant amount of time outside the classroom to prepare for and complete the course assignments. This varies between students and courses; however, students typically spend a minimum of fifteen hours per week on course material. To participate in the IDEAL Program, it is expected that you will do the following:
