History Course - The History of Glasgow City

[Eðo Grischun]

Regent,

I would like to offer to tutor a History Course at the University. The subject matter will be that of the history of Glasgow City. Glasgow has a very interesting (and sometimes dark) history that would make for a very interesting course.

I wish to use this thread to measure the level of interest before requesting the course to be approved. I have included the syllabus below.

Due to the fact that this will be non-credit course, I have kept it short and sweet (6 weeks) with only 2 homework assignments.

The History of Glasgow City

Week 1 - Beginnings: Early times to 1560

Week 2 - The Rising Burgh: 1560 to 1770s (Homework Assignment - Glasgow's Tobacco Lords)

Week 3 - Industrial Revolution: 1770s to 1830s

Week 4 - Second City of The Empire: 1830s to 1914 (Homework Assignment - Glasgow Heraldy)

Week 5 - No Mean City: 1914 to 1950s

Week 6 - Modern Times: 1950s to The Present Day (Final Exam Distributed)

S:reu Grischun,

I'm so happy that you have interest in teaching. The subject is indeed interesting. I have no doubt that you will intrigue students.

However, I would like to know more. What readings will you require? What will students do on days that there is no homework? Will you require participation? And please give more information about the proposed homework assignments. Will they be papers?

Please don't take my questions as a discouragement, but rather only as a guidance. I want to make sure that every course offered by the university has a fair amount of academic rigor. I appreciate your answers. You can respond in this thread. Or if you prefer, reply in a personal message, and the polished proposed course would be included at a later time.

Aspra Laira, Regent

Regent,

I do indeed have an in depth plan for the course. I was not going to bother you with it until I knew that people would be interested in the course though. My plan does indeed cover all of your questions.

The plan has been made out in a text file on my comp so its easier to email it to you. If anyone else would lke to see this please let me know.

Your attention to detail is wonderful. This course has officially been approved.

Citizens at Large: Please reply within this thread if you are interested in this history course.

I, for one, would like to sign up. Please join me!

Do you need a proposed starting date also? I ask because although I have a good idea of the subject matter for the course, I do require to find some time to write the lectures and course materials.
At the moment, I am slightly behind on some of the tasks I have set myself for the Ministry of Culture. Based on this, I imagine the course to be fully ready in about 4 weeks.

Take your time. A well prepared instructor is worth the wait.

Let's hear some interest, citizens! This will be a very interesting course!
