First...
let's get acquainted. You
know something about me. I would like to know a little about you.
Please go to the "Squad Room" (In Discussion Board) and post a brief introduction
of yourself. Include your goals and expectations of this course.
Read about your fellow classmates and post a greeting to at least two of
them. (Do this during the first week)
The first
two weeks assignments will all be from my commentary found in "Assignments."
We will start into the text in the third week.
In ASSIGNMENTS, read
"One World, You, and Freedom." (put
some thought into this, don't be frivolous, use your imagination to see
how it might feel.)REMEMBER... THIS IS A CRITICAL
THINKING COURSE. TRY TO BACK UP WHAT YOU SAY BY SOUND LOGIC AND REASON
OR DOCUMENTED RESEARCH.
YOUR
GRADE WILL DEPEND ON HOW WELL YOU DO.
