The class is taught in two sections, a day section 5080-001 resp 6080-001, and an evening section 5080-002 resp. 6080-002.
In this class you will be responsible for homeworks, submissions to a free discussion list, exams, exam resubmissions, finding partners for the group term paper, writing a term paper, plus you will have certain extra-credit opportunities. Every participant also has to write detailed comments twice on the homeworks of others. Master students enrolling in this class under the 6080 class number should consider themselves co-teachers who make additional contributions enriching the class, which you have to discuss with Hans in his office hour. All rules are described in the detailed syllabus which is included as Appendix C in the class edition of the Annotations (more about those below).
This class does not use Web-CT, therefore a few simple steps are necessary for you to receive the class mailings. Every student enrolled in this class must do three things in order to be able to participate:
There is also an interactive web site for the class at http://marx.econ.utah.edu:5080/Plone, where you can sign on to see your grades, and which has other opportunities to communicate with other in class.
An optional textbook for this class is volume 1 of Marx's Capital, which is also available here as a pdf-file showing German and English side by side, see below, and as html-archives at the Marxists Internet Archive or in the Archive for History of Economic Thought.
Since this course meets the communications and writing requirement, some resources about internet etiquette and writing are assembled at netiquette.htm.
