By the end of the semester, we should be able to map out common themes which re-assert themselves from generation to generation and others which disappear or take on new forms. We may pause on a topic and undertake more research than initially planned. In addition, you may discover a particular interest in a topic which you wish to pursue further. The journal provides a space for you to reflect on what you have learned as well as your reactions, including reflections generated by class discussion. Journals are to be dated and paginated.
All entries are to be double-spaced.
The final grade will be a combination of in-class participation, reading journal and an independent research project culminating in an oral presentation in class. In addition, you will write a 2-page reflection paper focusing on what you have learned this semester. These are available in the library as well as on the web. Note the references he makes to contemporary politics. After you have read the article the first time, review it careully and make a list of the different kinds of classifications which were applied for human beings and how these differ from each other.
