Weekly Email One Pagers

Every week you are expected to turn in a one-page essay.  We have established a list-serv for the course: ethn3104@lists.colorado.edu.  Details will be provided in class. 

A secondary purpose is to ensure that you have an opportunity to provide me with feedback on the class and your progress/satisfaction in the course.

Individual and group assignments

Periodically throughout the semester you will be responsible for individual and group assignments related to the week’s readings and topic.  These will be discussed as the semester progresses.
