Welcome to my home page!

This site is continuously under construction. This is the Fall 2001 phase. I am a trial and error builder. So don't be surprised if a link fails, or a page comes up empty, or this whole web site collapses and crushes you underneath. Glitches aside, my goal is to have this Web Site and linked pages make things easier for students. You can link to syllabi and other course documents, post-class analyses of readings and discussions, and various web sites that should facilitate your study. Mostly, you will get to these things by clicking on the links below. And you can get back to this page by clicking on the "Back" button on your browser. Good luck. Good learning. And, above all, have a good time. To let me know what you think, or what you want to know, e-mail me at patohara@email.jjay.cuny.edu.
