summarizes activities for students in the Alison Honors
Forum section of Global Agenda 2001. This
class will meet once before the start of the lecture series.
The first class meeting takes place Thursday, February 15 at
7:30pm in Memorial 125. Thereafter,
students in this section will attend the seven lectures in
the series (see Speaker
Calendar). Students
in this one-credit forum are required to attend
and actively participate in all guest speaker evening public
lectures. (See the speaker
calendar
for details.) Students in this section will be required to
write one final
paper,
approximately 7-10 pages in length, on a question to be
posed at the end of the semester. This paper will summarize
students' appreciation of the themes discussed by the guest
speakers. Students
in this section are encouraged to avail themselves of the
readings
and resources of the course to prepare for discussion of the
issues raised during the guest speaker lectures. Students
are also welcome to attend class discussions between
guest speaker dates, but these are optional sessions
- not required of students in the Alison Honors
section. These optional sessions meet at 3:30pm Thursdays
in Gore 117. There is
no separate syllabus for this section; you may review the
main
course syllabus. Grades for
this section will be based on the following criteria: Other
