Topics, separated into units on religious observance, intermarriage, and human rights, for example, are then examined more carefully, using Internet and library resources. Essays in Italian based on personal views on the topics conclude each unit. Prerequisite: Three semesters college level Italian or the equivalent. Offered: 2008 - 2010.
