DIFFERENCE, THEORY, AND THE ORIGINS OF RACE 15TH TO THE 18 TH CENTURY WEEK 1 (AUGUST 25TH) COURSE OVERVIEW: Class Structure & Syllabus Course Expectations Online Activities* Academic Integrity Course Rubrics Online Access Instructions** Presentations In-Class Films*** Reading Assignments****

* Listings in red are online PDF documents found on Blackboard. **There will be no excuses accepted about online access throughout the semester, so make sure you download readings and assignments well in advance of due dates. Also, be prepared to turn them in either via email or hard copy if requested (especially if Blackboard is down at any point in the semester). Online days might be days when we will meet to primarily watch films (or not have class at all--at the discretion of the professor) and/or break early to complete an online assignment in replacement of part of the class. ***Films may or may not be shown as scheduled, and may be changed at the discretion of the professor. ****There is a great deal of reading in this course, so know that we may discuss readings later than planned, and some readings may not be discussed explicitly, but are always welcome to be brought up in class discussions. If such readings are not discussed, there may still be questions on exams rooted in what the reading stated, but questions about readings that have been discussed may be more in-depth, pushing students to think critically rather than merely state what the article said in response to exam questions. *****Disregard readings in blue, there for instructor use only!
