This course will be using CourseInfo for electronic communication with the class. If you are enrolled in this class, then you are automatically enrolled in CourseInfo. The password, unless you had an account last semester, is the same as your username. I will provide more information about CourseInfo in class. This seminar relies on intellectual interchange and active participation by all members of the class.
Class meetings emphasize analysis of assigned readings.
In order for the course to be effective, all students must have the reading assignments completed and ready for in-depth discussion for each class. The class requires your thoughtful and continuous participation, therefore regular attendance is mandatory. Feel free to experiment with the structure of the class but be attentive to the discussion orientation of the seminar. The one requirement is that you bring to the class some type of visual document through which we can address the readings assigned for that day. For instance, you may want to bring in a photograph, a segment of a film, a television show, an x-ray, or legal document that addresses the issues provoked in the readings.
