Because this course is Web-based, it is possible to include documents to accompany the text in every assignment. The documents have been chosen to relate directly to Di Scala's text. That is, either they deal with themes discussed by the author or they are documents mentioned specifically in the text. The intent is that the documents supplement the text in a direct way and that the two form a unit. The documents will serve both for class discussion and for document analysis.
Document analysis is to be a major element in the course.
Each student will write two document analysis projects during the course, one before the mid-term exam and one after. Any student with a documented learning disability is encouraged to contact Professor Rhyne in order to discuss academic accommodations which may be necessary. Back to main page FLIC This course is one of many that are foreign language intensive. If you choose to do so, you may exercise this option by substituting readings in Italian for the book review, or by completing other work instead of the book review, such as reading and writing comments on a series of articles or otrher material. The amount of Italian material will depend on your level and ability.
