Spring 2024

This spring, I’m teaching two courses. Links to the outlines are below. 

Please note that the Syllabus Addendum (link below) leads you to several university policies. Consider this a part of every syllabus.

• JO 150 History and Principles of Journalism
• JO 542 Literary Journalism

Syllabus Addendum

The link below takes you to Boston University’s policies with regard to Title IX, sexual misconduct, equal opportunity, disability and access services, student athletics, recording of classes and the university’s code of conduct.

This should be considered part of the syllabus for every course I teach.
