Course Outline and Goals

This course is a more or less random walk through topics of social and economic science that I find interesting at a level appropriate to this course, taught mostly in English.

• It is not an English course, although I hope to help you improve your English.

• Nor is it a social science course. Although I hope to present new and interesting topics to you, there is not going to be a coherent focus, nor will I try to do a comprehensive survey.

• Short readings will be distributed to be read with written assignments as homework, then read orally and discussed in class.

  Depending on attendance, it is likely that class discussion will be deemphasized.

Note: For technical reasons, the URL for the "Collaboratory" is not in the usual place under http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Teach/IntroSES, but instead is in http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blogs/IntroSESCollaboratory. Use the link below and bookmark the page, and it won't cause any problem, I hope.

At this point, as far as I know all students who are attanding class have accounts. You should be able to log in. If you have trouble logging in or other trouble with your page, write to turnbull@sk.tsukuba.ac.jp with subject "IntroSES WIKI" (hankaku romaji only; will get top priority from my mail filter). Please include your student number. I have not yet uploaded mail, however.

講義の出席している学生のアキャウントは皆作ってあると思います。ロギ ンできるはずです。 ロギンができない場合やほかのトラブルがある場 合 にはメールを turnbull@sk.tsukuba.ac.jp 宛に送ってその題を IntroSES WIKI （半角ロマジだけ、メールフィルターで最優先されるので）にして ください。 学籍番号を記入してください。 メールのアプロードはま だできていません。

Warning: The Delete! button at the bottom of the page deletes the whole page, not the last comment. The only way to remove a comment is for the page owner to edit the page. (If you are lucky or experienced, you might have guessed, but it's not obvious. Don't feel bad if you already did, just mail me. I can get it back for you!)

Or you can try for yourself. You should be able to log in to http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blogs/IntroSESCollaboratory/YOUR_ID/manage It's a little risky, but "Copy" and "Paste" should be safe.

注意: ページのしてにある「 Delete! 」というボタンは ページ全体 を削除しまいます。最後のコメントを削除するにはページ の著者が edit をして修正しなければならないのです。（運のいい人ま たは詳しい人はすでに分かったかも知れないが、基礎ではありません。すで してしまった場合には恥ずかしくしなく、私にメールを出してください。復 活できますので！）

または、自分でやってみたら。 http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blogs/IntroSESCollaboratory/YOUR_ID/manage へロギンして「コピー」や「ペースト」をするのが安全でしょう。
