Tuesday, August 30
Students received copies of the syllabus and a letter addressed to parents & guardians. Students need to read both documents and show them both to their folks. The letter (or the bottom section) needs to be signed & returned by the end of the week. The syllabus will be the subject of a quiz on Wednesday.
We previewed the concerns and content of the course, including issues of Eurocentrism and ethnic diversity/conflict which many of the course readings reflect. We looked at the class website.
HW due Wednesday:
Read the syllabus carefully; quiz to begin the class. Signed forms from parents/guardians need to be returned by Friday.
