IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! FRom today until the final exam begins...

Do not contact me through microsoft teams as I am not likely to have access to that.

I will be taking a few breaks but I will be in 212cB and available to students during the breaks between classes 11.15-11.30 and 13.00-13.15 (no excuses for not showing up!).

Those in the second year who went over outlines with me should plan on meeting with me. Because we will need to start general interest presentations next week (starting March 1, 2022).

Make sure that you have either a printed copy of your outline or you can send it to me by email.

nb I do not have access to teams on campus (it's only on my home computer). So make sure you have a printed version of your outline or can send it to my email....

See some of you tomorrow!

Class Format for February 01, 2022

 For tomorrow, in lieu of regular class I will have consultation hours on teams.

All hours will be in the group Farris Office Hours 2021-22. If you've never been during office hours there you'll need to be added to the group. Send me a message on teams and I can add you.

If you want to go over specific work (such as a general interest presentation outline) then you'll need to send it to me as well. You can do so by email (university address) or on teams.

The consultation times will be:

8.30-9.30

10.00-11.00

11.30-13.00

Any student of any major or any group can see me during any of the three periods.

 After tomorrow, during the break, I will be available by appointment (send me an email or teams message and we'll work out a time). 

See some of y'all there!

Class Materials for January 25-27, 2022

 This week we are meeting on teams (blech...). If you don't have the group (Ethno II group 1, 2 or 3) then send me a message on teams and I'll add you.

Anyhoo, we'll be going over student paragraphs for this assignment.

See y'all in class....

Reaction Paragraph Assignment (deadline January 23, 2022).

 As promised during class, here is your Reaction Paragraph Assignment! (you can stop cheering now).

Your deadline is January 23, 2022 at 20.00.

Once you have completed your paragraph post it to the link below the jump (click where it says 'Czytaj więcej').

 

Class Materials for January 18-20, 2022

For this week there are three things to note....

First, here are the outlines from last week. I took off the names and put them all into a single document.

Second, this is what you'll need for this week's class. It's a good idea to print it out (or to have paper and something to write with, there will be writing during class). Also note, Thursday afternoon I will be posting an assignment on this blog.

Third, I will be doing office hours Tuesday 13.15-14.15 and Thursday 15.00-16.00. Look for me in 216B. If I'm elsewhere I'll leave a note on 216B telling you where I am. If you bring an outline for office hours make sure you print it out. It's easier/better for me to see it on paper.

See y'all in class!

Class Materials for January 11-13, 2022

 For this week, we'll spend part of the time going over writing outlines I've received.

Currently I have:

three from group one (on Tuesday 11.30-13.00)

one from group two (on Thursday 11.30-13.00)

one from group three (on Thursday 09.45-11.15)

So I encourage students from groups 2 and 3 to send me writing outlines either by email or on teams...

Any time left over from that will be spent doing short speeches (you should be ready with one this week).

Also, I will be having office hours on Tuesday 13.15-14.15 and Thursday 15.00-16.00 especially to look at outlines for general interest presentations. Be sure to bring the outline in paper form (printed out).

I'll either be in 215B for office hours or I'll leave a note on that door telling you where I am.

See y'all in class!

Class on January 04, 2022

For this special (hopefully one time) day of remote learning. Class will be on teams and take the form of individual consultation for any interested student (from any of the three groups).

I will be available from 11.30 to 13.00 on January 04, 2022 on teams in the group Farris Office Hours 2021-22. If you are not a member and wish to consult with me, then send a message in the teams chat (or an email) and I will add you to the group.

If you wish to discuss an outline (preferably for the general interest presentation) then please send it to me by email or on teams ahead of time.

If you wish to consult about something else then show up.

If you have nothing to consult me about then I will see you (hopefully) in person next week.
