The
proseminar acquaints graduate students with the requirements and expectations for advanced study at the Manship School, introduces faculty
and their research, and illuminates some of the practical issues that
typically face graduate students during their studies and afterward, when
they enter the marketplace in search of jobs, large mortgages, and fame.
This
class, like all classes at the Manship School, is designed to help
students. It differs in that
all of the work is done in class -- with one exception.
Students are expected to read Thomas Bender, Intellect and Public
Life. The final grade is
based on class participation and a final essay exam that draws from the
Bender text.
Any
student who shows up to class, talks from time to time, and reads the text
will not need to lie awake at night worrying about what grade he or she
will receive.
It is conceivable that students will want to meet with me or other
faculty to discuss some of the issues that arise in the class.
I hope that they will do so.
Instructors:
John Maxwell Hamilton and Ralph Izard
