This course is structured to give the student a great deal

MidTerm (Oct 31)

Stream B


This option offers a multi media approach to the course. It also 
expands the subject matter considered beyond Europe.


A student will select from a series of videos to view and review, two
books will be read and reviewed, and the student will read and review 
a number of articles. There will be a final exam on readings in the 
e text.

The schedule of work is as follows:


1. The student will read and review 
	"The Road to Serfdom" by Frederick Hayek and
	"The Future of an Illusion" or "Civilization and Its Discontents"
		or "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life" 
                by Sigmund Freud
(each effort is to be a critical review of approximately two pages in
which you describe what the book said, what its impact was on you, 
and convince me you read it).


2. The student will read and review a group of assigned readings

(Each of these reviews will be about one typed page in length 
and should be a critical analysis, only summarizing enough 
of any article to convince me you read it).


3. The student will select five from a group of videos to read 
and review. You will find these listed after each section in the 
e text (see # 4)
(The only stipulation is that each chosen film must be from a different 
'chapter" -- 1 page each).

4. The student will be doing some reading 
of relevant web materials as follows.

The student will 
be given a final based on these which will be on line during the 
first week of December. It will be a matching test. 

The student must 
meet with the instructor on at least four occassions during the course 
of the term. The instructor will be available each Tuesday from 5 pm 
to 6 pm on campus for these meetings. Contact instructor for where he
can be met.

Grading Criterion (each counts for 20% of grade)
Hayek Book Review (due before Halloween)
Freud Book Review (due before
Halloween)
Five Video Reviews (due before Thanksgiving)

Five Article Reviews (due before Thanksgiving)

Final Exam on Web Readings in e text



Submitting Work for Stream A or B


The student may turn in his or her work in hard copy directly to the 
teacher of leave it in an envelope at the reception desk in the 
North Building to be placed in my mailbox. However, I prefer that you
submit as much of the work as possible electronically
-- ie, by e mail. If you do not have e mail, an account can be set up 
for you at the school at no charge. E mail is also a much  
faster and better way of contacting the instructor for help or
questions. An alternative you may elect to use is to set up a web page 
at free provider sites Geocities, Tripod, or Angelfire and post your 
work on it, giving the instructor your URL to check your work. 
See the instructor for more information of this option. 
You can also reach the instructor's voice mail at 1.810.775.3364.
