Hello,

Our college is currently evaluating its Humanities course. The course
exists alongside courses in literature, history, religion, and art/music
appreciation as part of a general education program. We're wondering what
successes or failures other schools have had in trying to integrate the
disciplines, either using a single course (as we currently do) or using an
interdisciplinary approach to the whole core curriculum.

If anyone has experiences in this area that you wouldn't mind sharing with
me and with the Wiley College division of Humanities, I would sincerely
appreciate hearing from you. Please respond directly to me in email.

Thank you very much.

Daniel Greenstein's recent request for feedback on his proposal for a
Humanties Computing course reminds me that there has been a lot of discussion
here recently about what our students in the Humanities need to know. Here at
Dalhousie, we are just beginning to think about developing a program in
Humanities Computing that could be blended with traditional Arts majors'
programs.

I know there is an abundance of expertise among us; also, some specific
information and suggestions have probably been gathered in response to other
similar requests in the past months. So I am asking anyone with experience
or ideas re: organizing Humanities Computing courses to please contact me
by e-mail; summaries of responses you may have received to your messages
seeking advice on course content would be especially welcome.

Please address TETRO@AC.DAL.CA
