Courses

Below are links to the syllabi and, if separate, the reading schedules for all of my past courses. If you are interested in other course materials (paper topics, handouts, news articles), please feel free to e-mail me.

For pre-med students who need a “writing-intensive class” (e.g., humanities or social sciences, at least 30% of the grade based on writing assignments, at least one 8 page paper with bibliography, etc.) MHB/PHIL 558 and MHB/PHIL/AGRON/CESOC 565 either already satisfy this requirement or I am willing to modify the class requirements on an individual basis to do so.
