1806-011:  Intensive Eighteen O'Six for Beginners
Professors Hernandez, McGovern, Muha

In this course we will try to better understand the members of the greater Eighteen O’Six community through their language.  We will learn from members of this community how their communication or lack of communication betters their collective living experience.

This class is team taught.  At each class meeting, one of the professors will present material in a lecture followed by discussion.  You are expected to prepare before class to participate in the discussion by doing the required readings or by getting wasted with the professors.
