The class will meet from 1:20 to
2:40 p.m on Mondays and Wednesdays. It is
important to attend regularly, in part because we will make extensive
use of visual media, including video and
films, and these may not be available for students who miss a class.
Note: The spring
break trip to Mexico was cancelled for insufficient
enrollment. It may be offered at another time, perhaps as a
separate three-credit course.
