Announcements
- Any student with a documented disability (e.g., physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, or hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the instructor and the Disability Resource Services Office (165 Murphy Library) at the beginning of the semester.
- Professor Bulk will be responsible for making up the course examinations as well as grading them.
- A Hmong resource center in Murphy Library will be in place for students to use while working on their course projects.
- Additional handouts may be brought to class at the instructor's discretion but these should be regarded as supplemental to the required course readings posted in this syllabus.
- All required readings that have been photocopied for class usuage must be returned to Professor Bulk either on or before the day of the course exam that these readings pertain too! [If you would like to keep any of these course reading assignments, it is up to you to make copies of your own but you must return the copies that have been loaned to you.] This will allow us to offer the course again without the cost and inconvenience of having to recopy all these course handouts.
- You are encouraged to consult with any of the course instructors listed on the home page regarding any concerns or course-related questions that you may have. And as regards to your term paper projects you are particulary encouraged to consult with the course instructors. However, you are asked specifically to not consult with Professor Bulk regarding your term projects in order to perserve "fairness" in the grading of these term projects (since he will be grading them all).
- Your class participaion is greatly encouraged and you should feel free to ask questions of any course instructor at any time whether that be before, in the middle of lecture, or after class.
- While your class attendance is not graded, your success in this class will be directly related to your class attendence especially since the exam materials will be drawn so heavily from the lecture presentations and subsequent class discussions. Make no mistake about this!
- Have a great semester! Have no fear! This class will not be any more difficult than the average CLS class at this university. If you attend class regularly and do the assigned readings, you should have no problems.
- This is a great learning opportunity. Please take full advantage of it.
