Announcement

Hi guys! I'm done checking your term papers. Please claim them from the department secretary and see my comments and suggestions. They could be helpful in term paper writing for your other subjects. Thanks!

Announcements (HI166 C, D)

Hi guys! Despite the erratic wifi access both at school and at home, I would like to make the following announcements:

1) As I've told your class beadles (Kevin and Em for Section C; Crystal for Section D), I won't be able to meet the class today 4 May 2011 but we're devoting the class time to research. Although no lecture will be given today, groups are expected to continue working on their papers. Those who've submitted progress reports through email would've received my reply already. Read through my comments and suggestions, and keep on brainstorming for a workable thesis question.

2) Tomorrow, 5 May, we will continue our discussion of the American colonial period, specifically Chapters 17 and 18 of the Agoncillo/Guerrero reading. As I have hinted yesterday, we MAY have a quiz tomorrow. So better prepare. ;-)

3) On Friday, 6 May, the mid-term LT will push through. The coverage is from our lecture on History and Historiography until Harrison and Wood Administrations. You may review the readings (you don't need to read them again if you've done that before), quizzes (quiz questions MAY appear in the LT), and lecture notes (of course, we don't rely entirely on the readings).

That's all for now. Good luck to all of us.

Some concerns

1. As I've announced in class, I'm not going to meet you tomorrow (Wednesday, April 13). Instead I have asked you to research on a number of topics: A) History, as a field of knowledge; B) Historiography, again as a field of knowledge, and how different is it from history; and the following names a) Karl Marx, b) Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, c) Arnold Toynbee, d) Oswald Spengler

We are going to discuss these topics on Thursday, as part one of our introductory lecture on history and historiography.

2. To those who're asking about the readings, I do not place the required readings in the reserved section of the library. I expect you to have access to the two main books--Abinales/Amoroso's S and S in the PH, and Agoncillo's HFP. That means, you may purchase a copy, have the two books photocopied, or borrow from my past students copies (or photocopies) of these books. I expect you to have access to these books as soon as possible, because we need them for the early part of the course.

The rest of the readings are to be made available once we've assigned a beadle in class. Perhaps by next week (say Monday or Tuesday), I would've assigned the beadles already and asked them to have the additional readings made available at your suking photocopier.

That's all for now.

In Memoriam: Donna J. Amoroso

From http://gripscondolences.blogspot.com/:

MONDAY, 24 JANUARY 2011

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our colleague Professor Donna J. Amoroso. Donna passed away on Saturday, January 22, 2011. She was 50 years old.

Donna joined GRIPS in 2004, and a year later, she founded GRIPS’ Academic Writing Center (AWC), a center dedicated to helping students become competent writers. Since then she has worked tirelessly to ensure that the AWC actively supported the university’s teaching and research missions. Under her leadership, the AWC grew into a multi-program, dedicated platform for learning, serving hundreds of students from all over the world. Donna has helped scores of Master’s and Doctoral students become better writers, thinkers, and scholars. She was loved by students, respected by colleagues, and admired by her friends. She will be missed greatly. Donna is survived by her husband, Patricio Abinales, and her 7-year-old daughter Angela.

Donna’s husband and daughter have requested that instead of sending flowers, you buy 1-5 paperback children 's books and send them (with a note that this is in memory of Donna J. Amoroso) to a small community in Panglima Sugala, Tawi-Tawi province, southern Philippines:

Mr. Charles Fiebel
Growth with Equity in Mindanao-GEM2/F,
Damosa Business Center, Damosa Complex
Lanang, Angliongto Ave.
Davao City, Davao Del Sur, Philippines

Your books will really make a difference to the lives of many disadvantaged Filipino children!

Attention HI166 N, O, P, Q

To my HI166 students,

I am still not feeling better. Hence, I won't meet you again tomorrow, 12-16-10 (Thursday). I will hopefully recover in time for our classes on 12-21-10 (Tuesday). Thus, the LT scheduled on that date will not push through. We will have to schedule the LT sometime in January, when classes resume after the Christmas break.

Salamat.

(P.S. I trust that you've been doing something productive during your free time. It would not hurt if you review your assigned readings.)
