...with inappropriate messages. “I have, for the most part not found students to be intrusive,” he said. But Assistant Anthropology Professor Lamia N. Karim at the University of Oregon felt the need to add reminders about proper e-mail etiquette to her course syllabus. Karim said a recent New York Times article about the subject made her realize that “this was not an isolated phenomenon, but much wider.” “I wanted to make the use of e-mail communication more efficient,” Karim said...
...they simply do not have the time or the stamina to read a total of 1,200 pages a week. Incidentally, Ferguson assigns over 300 pages each week in History 10b. Many professors argue that it is not easy to achieve both depth and breadth in designing a syllabus. But throwing three novels or four hundred pages of critical theory at a group of busy undergrads is not the answer. I probably don’t need to read Derrida’s take on Foucault’s take on Habermas’ interpretation of the Social Contract. Professors...
...includes five cocktails (for the champagne-based cocktail evening, it costs $60). In the dim light, some people smoke cigars, and '30s swing music plays softly in the background in this intimate, '70s-style lounge.

As Weber mixes a brandy alexander - a smooth drink made of brandy, crème de cacao and cream topped off with freshly ground nutmeg - his colleague, Beate Hindermann, tells...

Penniman acknowledges that the graphic images used in the class may upset some people, but, he adds, "it's tricky for a dean or university president to try to dictate what should or shouldn't be in the syllabus." It's especially tricky at state schools where legislators help determine school funding. After Clarkson's course appeared in the catalog at the University of Iowa, a state politician threatened to withdraw school funding. (He dropped his efforts only after he learned that lessons wouldn't involve explicit visuals...
...that seems to be scheduled only sporadically) is not a course on the Civil War era, per se, but rather one that deals with how the war has been memorialized and represented in popular culture. This might be a useful enough supplementary course (though, judging only by the listed syllabus, this version seems a bit thin and intellectually lightweight), but it certainly can’t substitute for a thorough course in the political, diplomatic, social, economic, and, obviously, military history of the war. The latter would seem to be indispensable to any student, history major or otherwise, wishing...
