course assignments

Dear colleagues,

I am looking to freshen my Modern Southeast Asia course, and I would like to ask if anyone might share their syllabi, sources, and particualrly assignments with me. My current course, for which there has not been a demand for a while, is out of date. The course will be taught next year at the intermediate undergraduate level, with students who will appreciate a mixture of written and visual sources, including videos, etc. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Kate Holterhoff writes for Prof Hacker about assignments using digital primary sources in her first-year composition course.

She is "a Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research areas include nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century British literature, visual culture, digital humanities, and the history of science."
