Students should feel free to ask questions about unclear material at any time during the class. Students also should feel free to talk to the instructor about any course-related problems. To assist in your understanding and comprehension of the assigned books, each student is required to prepare a book review. The book review will be a comparison of two books which extensively use oral history methodology in the research. The instructor will provide a list for you to select your books.
Reviews are due on the assigned dates.
One grade will automatically be deducted from late papers. Each student is required to submit ten interviews. Students are required to contact the individual, discuss the class project, secure life history information, and set up a time, date, and location for the interview. Interviews, along with all proper documentation, are due on the assigned dates. Finals grades are computed from three sources, book reviews, class participation, and oral interviews.
