MUSEUM VISITS AND RINGSTRASSE WALK FOR THE COURSE: TURN OF THE CENTURY VIENNA AND COFFEE HOUSE CULTURE

Bob Corbett, instructor
GNST 1400, Spring 2001

The visits to the two museums and the Ringstrasse walk are NOT optional. Nor do they count as a regular class. Missing any one of the three will in the lower of your grade a full notch (not C+ to C, but C+ to D+, for example).

I will take attendance at the outset of the visit and at the end before we formally dispurse.

There will be no written work connected with any of those visits, just your required presence.
