Hi everyone,
Welcome to GEOG 340 Asia class!
This TITANium course site will support our class. It provides an online alternative to a standard classroom learning environment. Please do not assume that this is an easier or otherwise abbreviated course. On the contrary, we will cover roughly the same material that we would in the regular offering. The major difference is that the assignment and project will be submitted online, and that discussions will be conducted online via threaded discussion forum.
You can find the course syllabus below. Please go over it carefully. Please let me know ASAP if you have any questions. Starting Aug. 25, 2014, you'll find course materials such as chapter review sheets on TITANium. New course materials will be posted no later than Monday noon of each week. However, you can log in TITANium at any time of the week, whenever convenient for you.
There are two online exams -- the midterm and the final (see course syllabus for details). If the scheduled dates/times are not good for you or you prefer in-classroom tests, please let me know in advance and I’ll make additional arrangement for you. Please note that you have opportunities to receive extra credit by answering bonus questions in the midterm and final exams.
You are highly encouraged to ask questions, answer questions of your classmates, share your thoughts, and discuss relevant issues and/or course materials on discussion forums. Please note "Online Participation and Discussion" is worth 8% of your class grade. To achieve a great score in Online Participation and Discussion, you need to have at least eight (8) meaningful postings during this semester (e.g. ask questions, answer discussion questions posted by

describe his lived experiences inside his own body and identities. There are a few reasons he does this. One reason he uses these words is to draw comparisons of how society sees us. He is also trying to frame himself and how he sees himself as central. I think the point Clare is trying to get across is that everyone at that conference would have been ordinary or familiar in that group. Everyone there would have been queer and disabled. If everyone were queer and disabled, then everyone would be…

they were perfect, a city on a hill that everyone would look up to and admire but Winthrop was showing the city for what it was, a "shipwreck" (Winthrop 169). He did say that they must consider that they are a city upon a hill and the eyes of all people are upon them (Winthrop) This does not mean that they are perfect, it simply means exactly what it says, that they are up there and they are visible to everyone. So every single mistake is seen by everyone so I believe that he was trying to warn them…
