Other

This Internet course, Issues of Historic Preservation, will have a parallel course on EMU's campus, GHPR 335, Historic Preservation, which is a traditional classroom undergraduate course. Students in that course will have similar topics and readings, schedule, and assignments. They will have direct contact with students in this Internet course by participating in the same Rivertown simulation. This interactivity of classroom students and Internet students communicating over the Web adds an unusual and exciting perspective to both courses.
