Week 0 

1. Highlights from the  syllabus ("greensheet") -- syllabus is too detailed in places for first week use - explain reason
   1. Website: www.sjsu.edu/faculty/gerstman/muse. Bookmark it. Check it three times per week (at minimum).
   2. Course organization: meet Tu & Th noon - 1:15; true seminar -- students teaching students; if you cannot attend every session, then drop this course!
   3. Textbook (p. 2) - not in campus store (although I ordered it in April). It will be in after labor day, or you can order it online. We can make do for now. 
   4. Academic integrity (p. 2) - Copying the work of another person (scholar, fellow-student, whom-ever) and claiming it as your own is plagiarism. Plagiarism does not preclude cooperative learning and collaborating IF AND ONLY IF done selectively and where permitted. THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT TO ME, so we will discuss it in class.
