Welcome Everyone to Week02

The point of this week's class and materials is to literally get ourselves situated, both by continuing the introduction to the course (especially for those of you with Tuesday sections) and by thinking about how we see the city!

The reading due this week consists of a series of maps. Take a look at the following 13 links, each with a map (or two) of Detroit. For the first 13, make a numbered list and jot down one line of thoughts about what strikes you as most interesting about each one. Use the final two to draw your own map of Detroit on a sheet of paper. Annotate your map with places you've been. Bring these to class to help the discussion.

No other written assignments are due this week, but the professor in your small section will be talking to you about the Introductory Assignment due in Week05.

A few other notes: The large sections will be meeting next week, Monday, September 12. Please be there a bit early to get situated and ready for class. And I could use just a few more survey responses to get us closer to full coverage of the class (and keep the Annotated Selfies coming. It only takes a minute and it helps us a lot).

As usual, let me know if you have any questions about anything, please fee free to email them at kdk@wayne.edu or call/text them to 313-744-3535. Or you can now use our new Questions and Answers Board (which is where we've moved the Frequently Asked Questions).

Looking forward to seeing you Monday (the 12th).
