Classroom and field work are focused on urban development in the United States and are organized around the themes developed in the text, themes our lives are carrying forward into the future - decolonialization, industrialization, suburbanization, and globalization.
Course work includes discussion, lecture, speakers, articles, films, e-mail and fieldwork.
There will be four examinations during the semester. Questions will be in multiple choice, matching or short answer formats. Material covered will be from assigned reading or class discussions. Before each exam, an exam review session will be held during class. Unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor, there will be no make-ups for missed examinations.
