Spring quarter HumCore, in a nutshell


"A community is not just a group of people that just happen to be bunched up in the same place." - Rosa Vargas

"You better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin'." - Bob Dylan

"Doing is awkward." - Tuition protest group

I cannot properly express how fortunate I feel to have taught this group of students for ten weeks. I looked forward to it every day, and that is quite a lot to say for any job.

Stay in touch.

Research Paper Drop-In Session

1-3 on Friday. We'll start in our regular classroom, SSL 162, then move to one of the rooms next to it if someone kicks us out at 2. I've noticed that most of the rooms in that building are empty lately.

I can answer specific questions about your paper, particularly ones dealing with writing technique and formatting. You probably won't get much out of me on "will you read this over and see if it's OK" type questions.
