Learning Objectives:
As an introductory course, AmIn 1002/POL 1019, Indigenous Peoples in Global Perspective aims to introduce students to the crucial social, political, and economic experiences of indigenous communities from around the world, exploring how their cultural knowledge and social-political practices inform their social, political, and economic interactions with the nation-states that have, in the last 500 years, engulfed them. In the course students take exams that test their retention of critical introductory material from readings and lectures.
AmIn 1002/POL 1019 requires students to submit weekly essay-style questions that demonstrate both an engagement with the week�s readings but also demonstrate the ability to articulate the kinds of questions that open the issues in the readings to further reflection, as well as drawing connections and contrasts between readings. Students must also write a research paper that requires the crafting of an argument that allows for a critical synthesis of material (rather than a summary of material), with the idea that the effective communication of critical thought will help students reflect on challenging social and political issues throughout both their collegiate and post-collegiate careers.
Grading:
A-F; Audit
Exam Format:
The exams are evaluated on the completeness of the answer provided for each question and for the thoroughness with which those answers reflect an understanding of the data contained in the readings and lectures.
All writing in the course is evaluated for the effectiveness with which it engages the issue under consideration, how well each writing task articulates its question or argument, how well material from course readings and original research is implemented to support and develop the writer�s point, as well as for how well each paper observes the mechanical issues of organization, punctuation, and citation.
