Assessment and permitted materials
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to understand and analyze the nature and texture of Middle Eastern politics, cultures, and religion and its centrality in politics. It is hoped that the readings students will do and the class discussions of various issues of concern will lead to a better understanding of Middle Eastern cultures. Here it is important to note that the Middel East is currently undergoing enormous change. The course will, therefore, also focus on some recent historical and political developments which will affect the lives of Middle Easterners in a fundamental way.
