1 RELS 140AM: The Holy Qur an Summer 2017 Dr. Millar Syllabus Course Description: Literature of the Qur an: its form, content, historical development, and interpretation. The course is designed especially for students with some familiarity with Old and New Testament narrative. Since many of the stories and figures of the Old and New Testament reappear in the Qur an, it is instructive to engage in interreligious dialogue at the textual level. The goal is to give students an opportunity for further study of the major world faith that is Islam. Textbooks: Reza Aslan, No god but God: the Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam (New York: Random House, 2011) ISBN N. J.

Develop a better understanding of the issues of identity, politics, culture, history, health care, and/or economics in a context of a culture other than that of the United States. 2. Interrogate issues of colonialism, dominance, hegemony, and control by examining the social, economic, business, and/or political relationships that formerly colonized countries share with their imperial sites. 3.

7 7 Discussion Worksheet Date: Name: Author of Reading Attach this title page to the papers you use to complete your discussion worksheet. Complete Phase I and Phase II BEFORE meeting with your group. PHASE 1: WHAT IS THE AUTHOR TRYING TO SAY? (BEFORE CLASS) 1. Definitions: List key new terms and concepts in this reading. Define those you do not already know. Circle those that you feel need clarification or discussion. 2. Thesis Position: Express in the affirmative, the bottom-line one idea you see the author is seeking to persuade you to believe: one sentence (no conjunctions, no dependent clauses, no prepositional phrases, no internal punctuation) whether or not you agree with the author. 3.Author's Defense: What has the author offered as evidence which supports your choice of this thesis? At this stage, do not evaluate what you think of the thesis or the evidence offered. It is important simply to identify what you think the thesis and the evidence offered is. PHASE 2: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S POSITION? (BEFORE) 4. Take a Stand: If everyone in the world believed the thesis position you have identified in #2, would the world be a better or worse place to live in? Why? Why not? Try not to sit on a fence. 5. Critique the Author's Defense: Go back over the list of evidence you identified in #3. Has the author overlooked relevant evidence to the discussion? Are there other possible conclusions one could draw from the evidence? Relate this discussion to the ongoing discussion of the course. What inter-connections do you see? PHASE 3: WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT THIS? (IN-CLASS) 6. Definitions: Identify new words and make sure all in the group are clear as to the definitions. You do not need to discuss words everyone understands. 7. Thesis Position: Give everyone in the group an opportunity to present in one sentence what they think this reading's thesis is. That is your thesis #2. Discuss the various options until the group comes to a consensus. Add to your worksheet what the group has decided the thesis is (#7). This may or may not agree with your initial suggestion. I will want to see both in your worksheet. 8. Author's evidence: Give everyone in the group an opportunity to present what they see as the evidence the author offered for the thesis position. Discuss the various options until the group comes to a consensus. Don't give up your own voice unless you are convinced by arguments offered by others in the group. 9. Group Stand: Take a group stand with respect to the thesis and defense you have identified. If everyone in the world believed the thesis position identified, would the world be a better or worse place to live in? Why? Why not?

8 8 PHASE 4: EVALUATING THE DISCUSSION (Do this the last ten minutes of group meeting.) 10. A. Overall Reactions: A lot Some None I learned I participated I enjoyed C. General Dynamics Warm, non-threatening group climate Everyone participated Leadership functions were distributed Overall focus on resolving uncertainties and comparing insights Evaluation is accepted as an integral part of the group process B. Group Completion of Steps: Good OK Bad 6. Definitions 7. Thesis 8. Defense 9. Group Stand Yes? No D. Roles: Check ( x ) your own. Circle those you observed in others.

Instructor Input: I would like to have the instructor comment on the following, relevant to the reading: F. Parting Comments: Any thoughts you may have about the group process, the reading, the class, suggestions for improvement, etc. This form is adopted from a handout at a workshop on the topic of process and content in learning led by Professor Craig Nelson of Indiana University. The form is modified from W. F. Hill, Learning Through Discussion (Sage Publication, 1969).
