Seminar readings will be focused on current approaches to the topic in cultural resource management, heritage management, and historic preservation practice, covering US as well as other national and international examples. Course discussion and workload will emphasize primarily methodological and management-based issues, including appropriate field techniques, policy definitions, and collaboration with stakeholder communities. Weekend optional field trips in the surrounding region are also planned. (3 graduate units, Fridays 1-3:40 PM). Required Text: Preserving Cultural Landscapes in America (Paperback)by Dolores Hayden (Foreword), Arnold R. Alanen (Editor), Robert Z. Melnick (Editor)The Johns Hopkins University Press (March 2, 2000) ISBN-10: 0801862647Course Requirements: This is a seminar-format course, meaning that each week will involve substantive reading assignments and preparation for lengthy discussion of the assigned material. The course has been divided provisionally into three sections, “Basic concepts, theoretical/disciplinary approaches, and debates”, “policy approaches and issues”, and “case studies”. After the initial readings from the course text, subsequent readings will be selected based on our collective interests and research. Individual students will be assigned to organize and lead the discussion of each week’s material. In addition, there are two larger assignments: an annotated bibliography, and a topical research paper. These assignments will be covered laterunder separate handouts.GradingGrades for this course will be weighted as follows:Attendance and participation: 30%Annotated Bibliography: 30%Research Paper: 40% [Presentation: 10%][Paper: 30%]Assignment specifics and grading criteria will be developed as a part of class discussion, and will be covered in later handouts. But in general, this course is designed to help students develop professional level research, analytical, and expository writing skills. Although there are some team or group assignments incorporated into the course program, the assessment or grading focus will be on individual work. Some general standard criteria for graduate-level university course work do apply for this course: this includes spelling, grammar, complete sentence structure (where appropriate), and other basic mechanics of English writing. If you think your writing skills could use a brush-up, or you find yourself getting papers marked down consistently for simple errors, I would urge you to take advantage of SSU’s excellent Writing Center services. They are located in 1103 Schulz Information Center, and you can check them out at http://www.sonoma.edu/programs/writingcenter/ . University level course protocols and etiquette This is a graduate-level course in a professional master’s degree program. This means that there are certain standards of conduct that, in addition to your performance on graded assignments, will affect your overall performance in this course. A basic review of these standards follows:All university policies covering intellectual property rights and plagiarism will apply in this course. If you have questions about these policies you can consult the university’s website athttp://www.sonoma.edu/uaffairs/policies/cheating_plagiarism.htm . This will apply equally to all conventional text or printed media, and to web- or internet-based sources. I STRONGLY recommend using the tools made available through the university library’s website, especially at http://library.sonoma.edu/research/subguides.html and http://libguides.sonoma.edu/content.php?pid=9403 .We will be discussing the basics of this policy during the course, as well, as it relates tospecific assignments. Please note that all due dates are firm, and late assignments cannot be submitted without affecting your grade. Specifically, unless some other arrangement has been made IN ADVANCE, each day late will reduce the possible point value of the grade for that assignment by one letter grade (eg., one day late drops the grade from “A” to “B”, two days from “A” to “C”, etc.). PLEASE NOTE: To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact the disabled student services office (their phone is 664-2677 and they are located in Salazar 1049. Their website is: http://www.sonoma.edu/dss/ ). If you have a letter from their office indicating that you have a disability that requires academic accommodations, please present the letter to me WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF CLASS (by Feb. 6) if at all possible so we can discuss the accommodations that you might need in this class.Course attendance is a part of your grade. At the graduate level, attendance and active participation in seminar discussions is the basis of the course itself, rather than lecture. In the course of the semester, everyone will probably have some kind of emergency or conflict arise thatmeans they must arrive late, or leave early, but these should be kept to an absolute minimum. Please observe the basic courtesy of not leaving in the midst of class unless it is absolutely necessary, and if you must leave for some reason, please be as courteous and undisruptive aspossible to your fellow classmates as you exit. It is the responsibility of each student to find out what material they have missed by coming late or leaving early. Please show the basic courtesies due to your colleagues in a public gathering: turn off your cell phones, keep conversation to a minimum, and try to make any accommodation needed for people with any special needs.
