Hey HST 386ers, I have posted the Reading Response Questions for next week’s discussion facilitation on Building Eastern Europe. You can find them on your course syllabus page right next to the specific readings they are for in the course schedule.

Presumably you have stumbled on over here after seeing the linking information in Blackboard. Welcome to the Devenney Teaching Hub. All of your course materials (such as the syllabus, handouts, study guides, discussion questions, and the like) that you’ll need to be successful in my HST 101 or 386 courses this winter can be found here. During the term, I will be posting most of my announcements to you through this blog, while you can find the course materials by exploring the navigation buttons above. The only material that will still be available on Blackboard will be the GradeBook, for obvious FERPA reasons.

These blog posts are the initial primers for understanding how this is all going to work, so you should take a little time to look them over:

If you have any initial questions, please post a comment below, use the Anonymous Student Comment Form, hit me up on Twitter, or email me at your leisure.

We will be going over all this in greater detail when we meet for our first day of class, so don’t worry if some of this seems unclear.

Hey 386′ers, I have posted the PowerPoint Slides for the material we will be covering in class tomorrow. It seems I have decided to turn Monday night into a hardcore Eastern Bloc evening, so there’s two different sets of slides on the Lectures/Resources page for you to check out, one on Building Eastern Europe and the other on the Soviet Bloc After Stalin. In honor of this, I give you the following video for your enjoyment. Viel Glück!
