Welcome back to ETBU Dr. Frank Lower! Dr. Lower is teaching three courses while the department seeks God’s best person for the position Dr. Dennis Robertson left when he became V.P. for Student Affairs here. (You can hear) Dr. Lower every day on KMHT - Marshalll 103.9 FM. It’s another exciting transition year with radio and television program development ongoing in an exciting department.
Your reading this week focuses on the philosophical and religious developments in four major civilizations, and all within the same relative time period, an “axial” period. What do you think was going on? What similarities or common issues do you discern in these developments?
Test topic: A new year, a new college experience, and a new course, among others. In this case, World Civ! What will be your single, greatest challenge as you begin the course?

This discussion board is moved from an unworkable site to one I have used before for class. To keep things simple this first week, and to make sure everyone is able to participate, please offer your comments about your expectations in the course. For example, perhaps there are already some surprising things you want mention and discuss. Your expectations might consist of some learning goals — and by that I do not mean the grade you seek, but what you expect to learn, or think you ought to learn.
