This
Scribner Seminar meets three hours per week in regular sessions,
MWF 1.25-2.20 in Library 213. The scheduled 4th credit hour usually
meets W 4.10 in Ladd 106, but on a number of occasions the meetings
are held at other times and venues. All class meetings begin on
time, so please make sure you leave a sufficient amount of time
to get to class before the Seminar begins. |
|
The
4th credit hour sessions are designed to supplement the Seminar's
content and strengthen your skills as a college student. On some
occasions the sessions are offered twice - once on Wed. at 11.15,
and again on Thurs. at 5.15. When you have such an option, you
will need to sign up for one of the two sessions (if you have
course conflicts with both, please notify me as soon as possible). |
|
Because
of the relevance of The Burial at Thebes to our Seminar,
I have scheduled three of the Monday evening sessions in JKB Theater
that you are required to attend. You are also encouraged to attend
as many others that interest you, as well as the rehearsals that
occur intermittently on Wed. evenings. |
|
Two
special sessions off-campus have been arranged for our Seminar
- a visit to a Saratoga Springs governance meeting and a trip
to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. In addition, your peer mentor,
Amelia Crane, will be offering some co-curricular programs in
the residence halls during the semester, particularly during the
week prior to the local election. |
