Students will be contacted by Professor Meier via e-mail in March. At that time, detailed information about the course -- especially regarding the paper and in-class presentation -- will be provided. Students will choose a paper topic, begin working on their paper, and do some readings and a response essay before the on-site seminar begins. This enables students to have ample time to complete the final written paper by the end of the semester and prepare for the in-class presentation.
