This classroom is equiped with comptuers for every student,
allowing students to use this technology for notetaking, testing,
and research of additional information regarding our topics.
Students may bring a laptop for notetaking, if they wish, but
there is no internet access for laptops. Outside access to a
computer with an internet connection is necessary to fully appreciate
this topic. CWC has a computer lab available for your use.
A complete syllabus
of the course may be accessed here. Students should stay
at least one reading assignment ahead of the syllabus, as the
schedule is tight, and we will proceed to the next chapter after
we finish each chapter. There will be weekly review/quizzes
of vocabulary, required journals reflecting on our disucssions,
and four sectional tests. A final test will be held on the last
day of class. Tests will be largely multiple choice, but may
contain one or more wirtten questions.
I will be using
this web page to communicate with you, including listing of
required and optional texts and materials,
development of resources and links (you can help me with this
if you find something you would like to share), posting of the
syllabus. Please check back frequently for updates.
Meanwhile,

about you, who you are, how you came to be in this class, and
