Call me Ishmael...no, wrong story

We finally wrapped up election coverage in class today.  I don't anticipate CEs on this topic until Mr. Trump is inaugurated in January. Hopefully we answered any questions you had about how voting works (which seemed to be the basis of your inquiries) and also made you feel safe to express yourself constructively in the classroom. And if you ever want to chat one-on-one, we're here for you!

In class today we reviewed your reading over Judaism and Christianity. One student asked an interesting question about why there was more material over Christianity than Judaism in the text - and the answer to that is two-fold (1) there's just more doctrinal information over Christianity to process and (2) Dr. Cunningham (the author of our illustrious Humanities textbook) is a practicing Christian at the University of Notre Dame. He's a pretty cool guy - we corresponded via email once.

Some classes began taking notes in class - the Powerpoint has been shared to our website, however, our use of text is rather limited, so if you missed class, it might be in your best interest to look at some other people's notes or to come to tutorials.

Have a great Thursday evening and try to get started on your WHAP reading due next Wednesday!
