Course Requirements Overview
Please be aware that this course follows a belief in the value of socially constructed knowledge; that is, a belief that together we can make much better sense of the world around us than we can alone. For this reason, most writing done by students for this course will be shared with the entire class membership and, in many cases, with a potentially vast World Wide Web audience as well.
