• Just a syllabus for Baruch first years, i’ll be teaching this course next year… The requirement for the course is to lead instruction towards a set of writing goals. The subject matter that is “responded” to is open-ended. Interestingly, this teacher taught on The Crowds, and introduces this with a quote from Baudelaire about the mad, orgiastic quality of the crowds. As Baudelaire is an important figure to me, it seems like a nice model. The rest of the syllabus is just template rules about essays.
