Map of the Modern World Lab II

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Map of the Modern World Lab II is a new one-credit, pass/fail course that dives deeper into the issues brought up in Map of the Modern World. Enrolled students will meet most weeks for 50 minutes in a small discussion section led by an Undergraduate Teaching Assistants guided by Professor Giordano. The primary purpose is to engage in a subset of key ideas from Map of the Modern World in an interesting and stress-free environment. Specific topics and approaches will be decided in part based on current events, but a concerted effort will be made to use Zoom alternatives and get out of the house, regardless of students' physical location. Unlike Map of the Modern World, there will not be an asynchronous component other than podcasts or very short readings. The secondary purpose is to create an opportunity for you to build an SFS community through interactions with a small cohort of students new to SFS and an upperclassman.
