Service learning is a component of this course for students who volunteer at an agency in the Bay Area. An additional .25 credit will be given to students who sign up for the workshop. The final project and its content will be a focus of our class discussions and will involve research on a center or organization that provides services to American Indians in the Bay Area. The project can take a variety of forms such as an oral presentation, oral history project, research paper, video, or poetry. The topic must be approved by the professor.
All material is due by the dates listed on the syllabus.
Absences must be documented medical illness or family emergencies. Any late papers or assignments will be downgraded half a grade each day. No make-up examinations without prior arrangements will be given. Final papers or projects by FAX or email will not be considered. This will be an in-class essay examination testing your knowledge of concepts and theories, and supporting material from films, lectures, guest presentations, and reading assignments.
