Reading for Tuesday 10/2

Here's your reading for Tuesday, linked below.

My apologies for the delay - I wasn't happy with the selection I've used before (it was SO BORING), and it took me a while to find something pretty engaging that still covered the material well. So, enjoy!

I'm also posting the link at the InSite page for the course, in case you have trouble accessing the page from this site.

Let me know if you have any questions. See you on Tuesday!

Semester Goals

Welcome!

Welcome to Humanities 120: Imagination, Invention, and Creativity.  I hope it'll be a great semester.

Here are links to your syllabus and schedule for the course.

The school is trying to go paperless, so if you'd like a hard copy of the syllabus and schedule, please print them out from the PDF at the link.  I'll have a limited number available on the first day for anyone without a printer or an internet connection.

I'm looking forward to meeting you next week!
