The course will meet once a
week on Fridays from 12:10 pm – 1:00 pm. Attendance at all classes and
participation in online discussions is mandatory. Films will be
scheduled for an evening screening and will also be available on
reserve for individual viewing. In addition to the movies listed below,
we will also be reading two books:
The
Soul of a New Machine by Tracy
Kidder, and
Snow Crash by
Neal Stephenson. A final 5-page essay will
be
required. Open to students from all majors, with no prerequisites.
Contact the instructor for further details, including room assignments
for
the film screenings: dal9@lehigh.edu.
(Note: CSE 097 does not currently satisfy HSS elective
requirements.)
