Correction & News

This just in: it appears that the course I was scheduled for during Winter Term has been canceled. So it goes. After some departmental re-arranging, I've been reassigned. There's some info below.

Here's the bad news: it looks like the course is full. There's not much I can do about getting folks into the course at this point. I have also heard that Professor Bohnaker will dismiss the class on the first day, to let enrollment settle down before the course gets started.

HOWEVER, if you are interested in the course, and you are not currently enrolled, I suggest showing up and trying to get us to register you. Often there are a lot of people who drop and don't show up early on, and we may be able to fit you in anyway.

Thanks.

Teaching Assignment For Winter Term '11

I just found out what my Teaching Assignment will be for Winter Term 2011 at PSU. As there was much confusion at the beginning of the year as to what I would be doing in the classroom, now it seems that I will be stuck doing that same thing for the rest of the year. (Make me worry up front, then do nothing different for a full year.) So it goes. Here's the lowdown:

45861: UNST 212G: "American Studies: The 1930's" w/ Scott W. Parker. MW, 17:30 - 18:45
(Main Session Course. So far, it looks like we have 8 Students Registered.)

45862: UNST 212H: "AS: 1930's Mentor Session" w/ Cody Rich. M, 19:00 - 19:50
45864: UNST 212H: "AS: 1930's Mentor Session" w/ Cody Rich. M, 20:00 - 20:50
45863: UNST 212H: "AS: 1930's Mentor Session" w/ Cody Rich. W, 19:00 - 19:50
(The Accompanying Course that I'll be teaching. So far, it looks like I have 8 Students Registered in the first section.)

Scott and I have worked out a pretty sweet course for next term, after having spent this term fine-tuning the material we wanted to get through this term. Since it is an overview course, you won't be doing any in-depth historical research, nor will it be much like a typical history class. And Scott is usually an acting instructor, which means that we tend to focus on creative assignments, which involve some amount of theater sports. But you do writing weekly papers that engage with course material, and there are other larger assignments that do involve research. It's sort of a hodge podge of 1930's American History and Culture. Expect something about Hard Boiled Detective Fiction, Music and Film from the era, and other assorted bits and pieces. It's the way I roll.

If you are a PSU student, and need another Sophomore Inquiry Course, I recommend this one. Scott and I are a pretty good team.
