Agendas were issued last week and are expected to bring to class every day. Students are to write down their
homework assignments in the agenda as part of our class daily routines. Please check with your cadet to verify
that they received their agendas as this is also another form of communication that we will utilize to keep you
update as to what is going on in our class.

This week we began course work related to stereotypes of the Middle East. We also talked about
perceptions and misperceptions in the Middle East. Students were encouraged to give opinions as
to why we should study the region of the Middle east and North Africa.
