Applying to MAPSS

[dr. t]

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you @kenalyass. I made the same mistake about five years ago now.

Does anyone have syllabi from any MAPSS courses?

So there is only really one MAPSS course across the board (perspectives). Then the methods courses are sometimes blocked for MAPSS students or all grad students in the discipline (ie phd students as well. All the other courses are graduate courses. Emailing profs is the best way to get the syllabi for most classes. I don't have the syllabus but we read selections from Ranke, Adam Smith, Elinor Ostrom, Marx, Durkheim, Talcott Parsons, Foucault, Weber, Levi-Strauss, Geertz. Then usually a more modern applied example of these theories. If you want the actual syllabus email Chad Cyrenne or Dan Borges.

Hi, thank you for the response. There is an MAPSS perspectives syllabus online, sorry, I should have mentioned this. I mean other graduate courses in history, I am just curious to see what the grading breakdown for these seminars typically look at.
