History 500 Syllabus (updated 4/9/08)

Handy links: ulists, e-grades, WTWA textbook site; 500 readings (below), WTWA ebook, Sakai site

Most weekly meetings should have roughly the following format:

  1. administrative [schedule section visits] and teaching issues (5-10 mins.);
  2. feedback on past lectures and preceding week's sections (10 mins.);
  3. discussion of reading assignment and handout for the current week (20 mins.);
  4. discussion of section assignment for the following week (10 mins.).

Section visits.
I will make every effort to attend each section at least once (2 sect/wk). If you have a problem section, please request that I visit it early in the quarter. The purpose of my visits is:

  1. to learn how students are doing in the course and find out about their concerns;
  2. to find out how the materials I planned for sections work in practice;
  3. to observe your teaching and make suggestions where appropriate. Please note: I am a friendly observer: you should not feel intimidated. After all, you observe all of my lectures!

What I expect of you.
Each TA will be responsible for suggestions about how to run section for one week. You can makea handout with ideas about how to conduct that section if you like, but an oral report may be sufficient. A brief preliminary report with ideas for preparatory homework assignments on the Tuesday of the week BEFORE that topic comes up would be very helpful.
