Welcome

You found the course website for the 2:30 Wednesday discussion section for AA 132. This site will serve as an organizing tool for this course. A copy of the syllabus, a reading schedule, useful maps, and more will be available here throughout the semester. The site will be updated regularly, so be sure to check back often.

As I mentioned in class today, I ask that you bring two Reading Response Questions with you to our meetings each week. A guide explaining what Reading Response Questions are, and how to write them, is available here.

If you have any questions before we meet again in class, please use the contact info that appears at the bottom of each page.
