Announcements

! Final Presentation: Guidelines for reading response 3 and the presentation is now linked to from our detailed schedule page. Scroll down to the relevant dates. You will notice that on our last day of presentations which is also our last day of class, potluck breakfast is listed. You are welcome to bring themed breakfast foods inspired by our course reading list to eat and share with friends Wednesday morning. For example, you might bring Nightingale blood for your classmates to drink with tell-tale heart cookies and Mrs. Wright's bread and cherry preserves. Or, a bunch of you might co-host a cocktail, snow cones, or Dr. Jekyll's drug to celebrate a really transformative end to our session. I'll provide cups, plates, forks, knives and napkins. E-mail me what you're bringing so people can see the updated menu.


! Course Evaluation: Please give feedback on the course at CU CAS.

No more than one page double-spaced is expected per response but it should be well thought out. See samples.

  • Attendance and Participation: Discussion of the texts will be a big part of this class and students are encouraged to express their opinions, share observations and ask questions. Come prepared to discuss the reading material.
