Despite its name, the CSM is not primarily a religious newspaper. It is one of the most respected papers and thought to have some of the most balanced reporting of any major paper. Moreover, studies show that the CSM has the highest percentage of international news of any American newspaper. The CSM offers students a special three-month introductory rate. Subscription forms will be made available the first two class sessions.
Delivery is by mail.
Discussions of current events in international relations will be held during the first 10-15 minutes of class every Tuesday. Students are expected to have read the CSM prior to coming to class and may be called upon to discuss articles that they have read. Also, material discussed in class will appear on the examinations. The instructors reserve the right to hold pop quizzes on any of the assigned readings. The points from these quizzes would count as extra credit points on the examinations.
