You must be punctual for visits. Travel with roommates for first week, please, so you do not get lost. Since we are living separately, please let us stay in touch constantly and effectively. Ask questions; speak your concerns.
Please note: the readings are interspersed throughout in advance of when they will interface with visits. Try to read every day, no matter what. It would be best if you read most of Eisenman readings in first 2 and half weeks (many of central pages excluded). Do your best to keep up. There is more than enough so that those students who are most curious and advanced will be stimulated. The finals will be on what you have seen as well as the readings. Cultural assignments due at end of each week are light in nature – simply an invitation to consciously engage with French life
And reflect on your experiences by sharing with others.
Preliminary Reading: Eisenman, pp. 5-84
Reading: pp. 1-2 (“Ingres at the Louvre”), EISENMAN: pp. 178-230.
