1 Course Syllabus SOCIOLOGY/RACEETH 285, Asian Americans On-Line Course Fall 2016 Professor Larry Neuman INTRODUCTION Welcome to Asian Americans! As an on-line course, there are no in-class lectures or discussions. Instead, course material is in readings, power points, and videos. I will evaluate your learning in the discussion form and in on-line quizzes/tests. I strongly recommend that you visit the course site at least every other day. I have organized materials of the course so that you can follow along but you will need to read and work on-line about every other day. Success in this course will require diligence, persistence and hard work on your part. Your reward will be to learn about Asian Americans and their place in U.S. society. This course is about the peoples of Asian heritage living in the U.S. As you will quickly discover, there are many diverse Asian peoples. They are a vital part of America s social landscape, and their origins in Asia distinguish them from most other people who came to the U.S. Asian Americans are at the intersection of three contemporary issues, race-ethnicity-social identity, immigration-assimilation-intercultural relations, and national U.S. culture-politics. Books about Asian Americans typically adopt one of two approaches. Some focus on major themes or issues that apply to across the many Asian American groups. Others focus on specific Asian American nationalities separately, often one after another. Both approaches have strengths. We will use a mix the approaches in the organization of this course. The result is a repetition of ideas or information about a group. This works out well because you get to see information from different points of view, and the most important ideas appear more than once. As you see the same idea or information a 2 nd or 3 rd time, it becomes familiar. You gain both a deeper understanding of it and can see how it connects to related ideas. Asia is a very big place and although we will review most Asian American groups, time limitations prohibit us from examining every Asian-origin group equally or in great depth. This course adopts sociological orientation that overlaps into cultural anthropology, geography, politics, history, economics, and psychology. Unfortunately, there is no time to examine the many excellent writings in Asian American literature (e.g., short stories, poetry, film and fiction). Course Organization I divided the course into 14 modules (one per week).the modules are organized into four parts. Please feel free to look ahead and work on the next module as soon as you finish one. Part 1: INTRODUCTION AND CORE CONCEPTS Module 1 Introduction and Core Concepts Module 2 Race, Ethnicity and Gender Module 3 Where Asian Americans originate: Overview of Asia Module 4 Asian Independence & Diversity Module 5 Divergent Perceptions & Worldviews, East and West Part 2 IMMIGRATION, HISTORY AND DEMOGRAPHY Module 6 People Who Immigrated from Asia Module 7 Occupation, Income and Model Minority Myth 1

2 Part 3: SURVEY OF MAJOR ASIAN AMERICAN GROUPS Module 8 Chinese and Japanese Americans Module 9 Korean and Filipino Americans Module 10 South and Southeast Asian Americans Part 4: ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES Module 11 Asian American Family and Marriage Issues Module 12 Asian American Representation in the Mass Media Module 13 Citizenship, Racism and Politics Module 14 Theory, Identity and Empowerment WEDNESDAY to WEDNESDAY is a 7 day week All weeks of this course begin and end on a Wednesday because of how the UW-Whitewater semester calendar is organized: classes start on Wednesday Sept 7 and end on Wednesday Dec 14. While most of us are used to a week that starts on Monday and ends on Friday, this Wednesday to Wednesday format should work fine for on-line classes. It might take a little getting used to. Weekly quizzes will be on a Wednesday and the weekly Discussion forum will close on a Wednesday. Course Objectives 1. Students will possess an understanding how U.S. society has been, and continues to be, shaped by the interactions among past and recent immigrant Asian Americans and other groups. 2. Each student will reflect on his or her own racial-ethnic identity and that of others, and to discuss how their identity was formed and is being reinforced or altered through current social interactions. 3. Students will be able to explain how various Asian American communities preserve and express their culture of origin, as well as processes of acculturation by which they incorporate aspects of the broader U.S. culture. 4. Students will understand the history of Asian peoples who have come to the United States, including their unique forms of assimilation, significant achievements, experience with discrimination, and attempts at pan-asian cooperation, as well as their involvement with conflicts and power struggles. 5. Students will be able to describe key differences among major Asian cultures and ways in which they persist or are modified by Asian-origin peoples now residing in the United States. 6. Students will recognize the great diversity among peoples of Asian descent living in the U.S. despite a shared label of Asian. They will be able explain how Asian Americans experience a racialized ethnicity that shares some features in common with and has other features that differ from those of other non-majority peoples, including both immigrants and non-immigrants.

3 REQUIRED Textbook Rental The Contemporary Asian American Experience: Beyond the Model Minority (3rd edition) By Timothy P. Fong. Prentice Hall, 2008 Bookstore Purchase Asian America: Sociological and Interdisciplinary Perspectives by Pawan Dhingra and Robyn Magalit Rodriquez. Polity ($26.95 new and $13.00 used on Amazon.com) Note: The books by Fong and Dhingra & Rodriquez are standard textbooks. POWERPOINTS AND VIDEOS Each module has power point presentations and videos. These are important sources of information so view each carefully. You may notice overlap between videos and power point presentations and the assigned readings. The overlap is on purpose. It is designed to reinforce your learning. The power point presentations and video clips also have new information not in the readings. Quizzes and discussion forum questions will come from the power points and videos as well as all assigned readings. GRADING Course grades are based on percentage of points earned using the following chart: COURSE GRADE % points earned A 92.0% and higher A % B % B % B % C % C % C % D % F 59.9% and lower You can earn points in the following areas 14 Multi-choice quizzes on readings, videos and lectures 270 Student discussion forums 125 Comprehensive final examination. 75 TOTAL470 points Attendance Policy: As an online course, attendance is based on participation in the discussion forum. You at expected visit the D2L web site at least 3 times a week. Also check your daily, and participate in all discussion forums. Excused absences (i.e., when you do 3

4 not visit D2L for one or more entire weeks) will only be granted in the case of a very serious illness or similar reason. Quizzes (270 points total) There are 14 on-line, open-book, timed multiple choice quizzes on the assigned readings, power point presentations/lecture, and videos each Wednesday. After you submit a quiz, you will be able to see your score and any questions you got wrong (correct answers will not appear). You can use this information to look up correct answers and improve your learning. Each quiz has 8-25 questions and you will have about minutes to complete it (running over by 2 minutes is ok). If you need to take the quiz one day early or day late due to specific scheduling issues, let me know at least 24 hours in advance. This is only on a case-by-case basis. Quizzes will be open on D2L for 15 hours, from 7 am to 10 pm. No Makeups. A study guide will be available 24 hours before each quiz. After you have completed all assigned readings, watched and taken notes on videos, and viewed all power point presentations, use the study guide to prepare for the quiz. A good study strategy, is to read the study guide then go back to sources and enter notes next to each study guide question. To discourage cheating, you must use the Lock Down Browser; in addition, quiz questions will be a random order with randomized answer choices and drawn from a pool of possible questions. Quizzes with the exact same questions correct/wrong submitted at the about same time, and very high quiz scores for students who have not examined the relevant D2L course material will be investigated for possible cheating. Discussion Forums (125 points total) The course has open discussion forums in which you participate by answering questions and making comments. To count, a post must include at least 3 sentences. It can be a response, reaction to, or comment about a question in the forum, or a comment/question relating personal experience about a reading/lecture/video. To get full credit, you must answer ALL questions in the time allotted for a forum, plus you must make a comment about one classmates post in each question of the forum. All contributions should be serious and respectful. Personal attacks, the use of vulgar profanity and threatening/violent language are prohibited and may be reported to university authorities for disciplinary action. As the instructor I will monitor and read the posts, but do not make posts or direct comments in the discussion section myself (except in the Raise your hand or Ask Any Question area). Final Exam (75 points) The Final has 75 multi-choice questions from throughout the semester. Old quiz questions will reappear, so if you got a quiz question wrong but look up the answer and learn the material it will help you in the Final. You will have 90 minutes to complete it. The final exam is on MONDAY DEC 19 and will be open 10 hours (7 am to 5 pm). University Statement: The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is dedicated to a safe, supportive and nondiscriminatory learning environment. It is the responsibility of all undergraduate and graduate students to familiarize themselves with University policies regarding Special Accommodations, Academic Misconduct, Religious Beliefs Accommodation, Discrimination and Absence for University Sponsored Events (for details please refer to the Schedule of Classes; the Rights and Responsibilities section of the Undergraduate Catalog; the Academic Requirements and Policies and the Facilities and Services sections of the Graduate Catalog; and the Student Academic 4

5 Disciplinary Procedures (UWS Chapter 14); and the Student Nonacademic Disciplinary Procedures" (UWS Chapter 17). WORKLOAD EXPECTATION: The UW-Whitewater University catalog cites UW-System policy defines the workload expected of a student in a three credit undergraduate course, online or in-classroom, as 9 hours per week (for an average student earning an average grade). This includes time needed to view assigned videos, complete assigned readings, view powerpoints, write in the discussion forum, and study for and complete the quizzes. While may feel like a lot of time is demanded, I timed the course workload and comes out to be an average of 9 hours per week (a little over some weeks balanced by a little less in others). I used average college-level student reading rates for the assigned readings, allotted 10 minutes to complete weekly discussion forum writing assigned, 30 seconds average view time per powerpoint slide, video run times, 90 minutes of review/study time for each weekly quiz, and the maximum allowed time for each quiz. Of course these are only averages, i.e., what the average student needs to do to get an average grade that defined by the university as a C. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will be punished following the University Handbook. This includes including taking a quiz for anyone else or allowing another to take a quiz for you, substituting/copying another s work without citation (plagiarism), giving another student answers or helping another student in the class take quizzes. Please see disciplinary procedures for Academic Misconduct Depending on the form and extent of cheating punishments, a cheating student can expect on of the following as outlined in the University Handbook: A failing grade on the particular assignment or test; A lower grade in the course; A failing grade in the course; Removal of the student from the course in progress; COURSE CALENDAR Subject to adjustment during the semester In D2L each Module has a mix of the following: Assigned readings in the 2 books or on-line in the course D2L Power point presentation On-line video selections Discussion forum On-line quiz or exam CODES for assigned readings are as follows: Fong = Contemporary Asian American Experience Dhingra = Asian America: Sociological & Interdisciplinary Perspectives PART I: INTRODUCTION AND ASIA MODULE 1, Introduction and Core Concepts, (Wed Sept 7 to Wed Sept 14) 5
