POL 361 International Organization - Fall 2007
IMPORTANT NOTE 9/10/07: If you send me file attachments for me to read over, DO NOT SEND THEM IN .docx FORMAT (the new Microsoft Office 2007 format). I do not use Microsoft Office and cannot open these files as the conversion filters are not yet available for the Windows version of Open Office. If you are sending me a file send it in .doc, .pdf, or .rtf formats. If you send me a .docx file, I cannot read it.
| Syllabus (.pdf) | The complete course syllabus including required texts, grading breakdowns, and due dates. |
| Course Map (.html) | The map of the course including the topics for each lecture, links to the notes for each lecture, and the reading assignments for each class day. NOTE: The Muldoon Book is on back order with no arrival date. This means that the bookstore will not have it any time soon as they cannot get it from the publisher. The book is sporadically available on the internet, but not in enough quantity to make it available for the course. I am making the Muldoon book recommended for the course for those of you that can get it, but it will no longer be required. The tests will not require the Muldoon readings. |
