Course Information
AQRS 1006J is a
course within the Aquinas section of "Justice & Globalization"
which is
scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm in ECG 12
(with a break for lunch). Some days we will be
using the time from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm for common tasks and activities
that link Religious Studies, Economics and Sociology. Other days
we will divide into separate discipline-based serminars. The AQRS
1006J Introduction to Religious Studies seminar will take place on
these "other days" from 10:00 - 11:20 am during the fall
semester. If you are
enrolled in this Aquinas section, it is important that you don't
schedule any other classes or activities (job, volunteer work, care
giving, dentist appointments) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm
on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
