Happy New Year and Welcome to Winter!
Printer Friendly Winter Schedule

Our first meeting of Winter Quarter is in room Sem 2 A1105 on Monday of week 1 at noon. If you are not registered for the program and have an interest in coming in, plan to be there from noon-1pm to talk with faculty about your interest.

We will discuss our first reading, Wanted by Rachel Hall, in Thursday Wk 1 reading seminar. New students also should read Peter Irons, People History of the Supreme Court, ch 1-18, to catch up with Fall program content over the next few weeks. No formal reading response paper necessary in this first week.

We have lots of reading this term. You might consider reserving time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when we have no organized classroom activities, to schedule and keep reading appointments with yourself.

Please keep in mind that we recommend quiet, contemplative reading over surfing through a book. This takes more time, and usually requires you to schedule more than one sitting to read. But we would rather you read even just part of the book carefully and thoughtfully, than rush through the whole thing superficially.

12-1:15 history lecture – Sem 2 A1105
1:30-3 news notes panels – Sem 2 A1105

Complete porfolios are due in class Thursday, December 12. You can bring a late portfolio to your faculty office by a firm late-deadline of 3pm on Monday, December 16, but not after that.

If you give us a late or incomplete portfolio, we may or may not be able to provide your written evaluation or final award of credits before the end of Evals Week.

Please don’t use three-ring binders or other commercial plastic products. They are extra expense for students, unfriendly to the environment, and unhandy for faculty to carry.

We will bring large manila envelopes for everyone to use instead.

1. accurate index or table of contents
2. fall quarter self evaluation
3. academic statement – if this is your last quarter at Evergreen
4. Wiki article – and any drafts, notes, bibliographies, etc

We’re going to use the deviantART.com platform to post and collect our digital pics. A group folder named “Law-and-Outlaw” has been created (by zombies)* for us to use.

1. Go to the deviantART.com website and mouse around till you figure out how to join the community (ie, register to create an account).

2. Find and join our “Law-and-Outlaw” group. Use an email address and profile you don’t mind putting out there on a social media site like this one.

3. Look around on the website for inspiration.

4. Think about our program content and themes,

• then think about your own social world,
• then find connections (no matter how far you have to stretch),
• and then figure out how to visually represent them.

5. Hatch an idea. Keep in mind – there is no list of instructions (beyond this one) for you to follow step by step.

6. Post your first three pics in time for us to look at them together on Monday afternoon.

This is a serious and important assignment for us. It’s beyond thinking outside the bun. It’s more like, “Buns? We don’t need no stinking buns!”

And don’t forget – you need to schedule and keep enough time for this assignment to really pull it off.

*More on the zombies later.
