The Past Speaks

Most academics are content with pretty basic course guides. At the start of the term, we distribute a document with the weekly readings, a description of the assignments, and maybe  few pictures thrown in for good measure. In terms of visual appeal and production values, the standards for this sort of document are pretty low. For that reason, I’m really impressed by the syllabus that Prof. Shawn Graham of Carleton University is planning to give to the students taking his introduction to historical methods class. The syllabus is in comic book form.
