Experimental offerings

Hi all,

I have a bit of information that may be helpful as you continue to get your schedules worked out for the spring semester. It has come to my attention that some helpful information about our two new experimental classes in the spring has not been available to you. So, I wanted to be sure that everyone knew the details about Soc 374: Visualizing the Triad's Global Identity and Soc 429: Collective Violence and Non-violence.

Soc 374 will count towards the global social problems concentration. Because it is experimental, it does not yet show up in the undergraduate bulletin or on your degree evaluation. However, it does count. If you take this class and want it to count as one of your electives in the global social problems concentration, you simply need to let me know during advising in the spring, so that we can do the paperwork to get that handled.

Something similar applies to Soc 429. This class can count towards both the global social problems concentration and the criminology concentration, but again, that does not show up on your degree eval yet or in the undergrad bulletin because it is experimental. If you need a class to count towards the electives in one of these concentrations, I will simply need to do the paperwork in the spring to get it moved over.

Early next semester, I'll be sending out some information about a change to our advising protocol and some other happenings in the department so be on the lookout for something from me early in the semester.

In the meantime, work hard on those exams and then rest hard over the holiday!

Have a great break!
Dr. Westervelt
