Changes for fall semester

With just a few days to go before the start of fall semester, I just wanted to let you all know about a few changes to our fall INTL schedule. First, for those students enrolled in Stacey Mitchell’s INTL 4780 special topics course on genocide, please note that the location for the class has been moved from the Journalism building to room 203 Caldwell Hall.

Second, Dr. Abdulah Osman has resigned from the university. This turn of events has directly impacted the two courses he was to teach in the fall. Unfortunately, we have been forced to cancel his INTL 4355 class, as we could not find someone who was available and could teach that topic, nor the money to pay whomever we found. Our apologies to those students whose schedules are disrupted by the cancellation of the course.

With regards to Dr. Osman’s INTL 3300 course, just today we found someone to teach the class. The new instructor will be Murat Bayar. Because he’s been assigned to the class so close to the start of the semester, it’s highly likely that his textbooks will not be in to the UGA Bookstore before the first day of classes. For those who’d like to try a faster route, such as Amazon, the book he will be using is:

Essential Readings in Comparative Politics (Second Edition) (Paperback) by Patrick H. O'Neil (Editor), Ronald Rogowski (Editor), ISBN-13: 978-0393929508
