In addition to required reading assignments and class attendance, all students taking the class will have to write a team research paper. The major product of the students will be these pieces of research. Several of the projects will be ones that will serve union organizing drives. At least one, however, will be purely academic. There will be several speakers coming to the class to explain how they do labor-oriented research and to alert students to problems, both practical and academic.
Attendance is mandatory at all classes.
The information above is intended to be helpful in choosing courses. In most cases, the official course syllabus will be distributed on the first day of class.
