Class Attendance Reminder:

Students are expected to be punctual and regular in class attendance and to accept responsibility for all assigned work. Any student who has been absent for as many as one-third of the total class sessions for a course will have failed and will be suspended from the course. Within this framework, each instructor may set his/her own class attendance policy, and will inform students of this policy at the beginning of the term. Class sessions missed because of illness or late registration will be counted as absences. There are no "excused" absences (illness, funerals, athletic contests, and other necessary absences are included in the total number of absences counted). In case of extenuating circumstances, a suspended student may petition the Academic Concerns Committee to be readmitted to the class. At the discretion of the faculty member, missed work may be “made up.”

SS202 Conversations About Race

Should we strive to be colorblind when it comes to skin color? What should I do with stereotypes that are in my head—do they mean I’m racist? Why does it seem certain minority groups can’t “get it together”?  Should I say something when my grandpa puts down other races? Are Jews white? Was Jesus white? Did God create the races? This course is designed to provide readings, discussions, and personal experiences to help you explore the topic of race, your own racial identity, and what race means for relationships on and off campus.  Offered spring 2010 semester; 2 credit hours; TR 4:00-4:50; open to any major; for more information, contact Kevin Miller or Jesse Brown.
