This course is not for everyone. This is a discussion class, notwithstanding its size. No lectures are given, and everyone is expected to take regular part in discussion. That means every class meeting, all the time. The extent of your participation will be strongly reflected in the final grade.
Many students feel uncomfortable talking in class and especially in large groups.
Some cannot bring themselves to do it. That s understandable, but if you are one of those, do not take this course. The trade-off for all the hard work is that you will learn a whole lot. Money back guarantee. We read the NYT international news five days a week.
