Thanks to all for a good first class meeting. Just wanted to reiterate the announcements from today. <\/p>\n
Here’s the short film<\/a> we watched on Furnace Mountain if you wanted to see it in better color on your own screens (I will try to see if the classroom machine can be addressed & fixed). <\/p>\n Re: Can you be Jewish and atheist and\/or humanist? See here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a> for “yes,” but prominent atheist David Silverman says: no<\/a>. <\/p>\n Ok, the reminders: <\/p>\n 1) Write me something (length is determined by what you have to say) about Beal’s book, and email it to me by Friday. <\/p>\n 2) I will post the research self-assessment survey on Blackboard by the weekend, please take that before Monday. It should take about half an hour of your time, maybe less. <\/p>\n 3) Remember to bring your laptops on Monday for “Technology Day” as we get your individual portfolios up and running. <\/p>\n 4) Get hold of a U.S. history textbook (college or high school level), you will need it to write the assignment and participate in class discussion next Wednesday. I have quite a few I can lend, so if you need one, let me know by email or stop by my office to choose one. <\/p>\n 5) I’m posting this on the Blackboard announcements page as well, but in general, I will only update the course website, so always check there first for any updates. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks to all for a good first class meeting.
