This course consists of 4 units (topics) with each approximately corresponding to a single week. Each week will be structured similarly with an introductory video, assigned readings and (documentary, podcast) to watch, questions for an online discussion in Yellowdig (also accessible through Brightspace), and a quiz in Brightspace. There will be a comprehensive final exam at the end of the class.
