Change public display name

Hello class,

Great job, everyone, on the blog posts and comments so far. Prof. Rosenberg and I encourage you to sustain the quality of discussion throughout the semester.

If you have not done so already, please change your “Display name publicly as” name in the Dashboard to your first and last name. To do this, go to “Profile” on the left sidebar, then scroll down until you see the “Display name publicly as” dropdown menu. Select your first and last name. If they do not appear, fill them out in the fields above. This way Prof. Rosenberg can clearly see who you are when you post and make sure you get credit for participating in the week’s blogging/commenting. I see a few of this week’s bloggers have either their username, just their first name, or their name without a space between first and last names displaying currently. You also don’t have to sign your name on your blog posts or comments — the system does that for you automatically.

Also, I’ve activated the site so that when someone comments on your post, you will receive an email. I encourage the original posters to reply to comments as you see fit.  Everyone should also check the box that reads “

Thanks!

For Wednesday, Feb. 15

We will discuss the question sheet on Foner, Chapter 1 that I already uploaded here. Please note that the sheet contains a mistake (it says that the questions are “for Wednesday, Feb. 29”). In fact, the assignment was for last Wednesday, Feb. 8, but is now for Wednesday, Feb. 15.

Thanks.

For Wednesday

Please read pages 1-35 in “From Ellis Island to JFK” by Nancy Foner. I attach a question sheet. Since we barely began discussing Chapters 2 and 3 in Binder and Reimers on Monday, we probably will not get too far into the Foner material on Wednesday.

Also, please think about the following question and be ready to discuss it in class on Wednesday:

We often hear people say, “Only in America!” in response to certain events or phenomena. What does the phrase “Only in America” mean to you? What are some examples of of situations in which someone might say it? (Let’s try to answer this question without reference to the recent presidential election).

Hello:

I attach a copy of the syllabus for the course. There is no reading assignment for the first day, but you should arrange to get copies (or access to an ebook) of the first two books listed on the syllabus by next week.

I really look forward to meeting you on Monday.
