The course is part of a set of seminars for first semester, first year students. The seminars are small (absolute maximum of 15 students) so that faculty are expected to spend time teaching writing and library research skills. Also, now, internet research skills (though, on this latter score, much of that is passed back and forth among students, many know how to do it much better than faculty). Topics vary in terms of faculty interest and student willingness. Just that all incoming students have to take one. There is some interest in at least one of the seminars being about technology and the military in light of 9-11. A part of my argument is that these kinds of discussions don't work in the abstract, certainly not with most 18 year olds. So why not focus it on specific scenarios, in which case, they would need, most likely to understand the Islamists better. This is all quite tentative. I've been asked to spend some time on campus in late May or early June. That will give me a better idea whether this is all talk (you will recognize the problem) or actually has some sort of specific course in mind.
