Understanding the history of the former Yugoslavia can help students understand more about the current conflict there and about the ways in which ethnic identity is defined. Other required readings are on reserve in the library. All work for this course must be turned in on the announced dates. Late work will be penalized one letter grade unless you have a good excuse, and no assignments will be accepted more than one week late. Rewrites are due one week after I return the original assignment.
Attendance is required.
Being late twice counts as one absence. If you have questions about the readings, you should write them down and ask me to explain during class. You should take notes on the readings and on class lectures. I reserve the right to give unannounced quizzes to test whether students are doing the readings. For these reasons, I will ask you questions in class, and I encourage you to ask me questions.
