PDP 150:  Personal Development and the Liberal Arts

Fall 2008

 

Welcome!

This is the course Web site for PDP 150 Section 12. This is an evolving site.  When we add activities into the schedule (for example, a convocation that we have decided we'd all like to attend and discuss in class), I'll update it.  I'll also add writing assignments to the Website, and will make links to them from the Schedule pages.  You should plan on checking the online syllabus regularly, to make sure you know what assignments and activities are planned for each day.
