Class description

Task Force on US Policy in the Middle East This Task Force will consider US foreign policy options in the contemporary Middle East with a particular focus on the situation in Iraq. The students who enroll in this Task Force are required to do the assigned background reading before the course begins and be prepared to start their research and writing early in the quarter. The major part of the students’ grades will be determined by their contribution to the Task Force Report that will be researched and written as a group. There will also be a test to measure the students’ basic knowledge of the Middle East. This test will be given during the second week of the quarter and will be based on the assigned background reading.
