Petzold's 'Barbara' at IU Cinema


Thursday through Sunday next week (February 7-10), the IU Cinema is showing Christian Petzold’s latest, the GDR drama ‘Barbara.’ The film has gotten quite some attention also internationally and, I believe, has by now become the half-official successor of both Good Bye, Lenin! and The Lives of Others – a really interesting turn in Germany’s public memory of East German socialism as well as another twist in Petzold’s ever-evolving oeuvre. I will be doing a brief intro and q+a on Sunday, but the film in itself is definitively worth seeing, too, on any of the nights!

Is law school worth the price? Lecture / Q & A Session: "Law School in the Age of Anxiety"


This message is for any student considering the possibility of law school in the future.  Questions/want more information?  Contact HPPLC at hpplc@indiana.edu or 812.855.1873. 

Given the high tuition costs and the struggle to find a job upon graduation, is a law school education still a good investment?  Many critics have responded with a resounding "no!"   Are you thinking about law school?  Don't know what to say to people who discourage you from this path?  One major voice has continued to defend the value of a legal education.

The Health Professions and Prelaw Center invites you to join the renowned legal expert Dean Lawrence Mitchell of Case Western Reserve University School of Law for PIZZA on February 5 as he speaks on “Law School in an Age of Anxiety.”  Dean Lawrence Mitchell has spoken persuasively in the NY Times (his provocative op-ed "Law School Is Worth the Money" garnered much debate as well as criticism) and in other media across the country about how law school can still be a worthwhile, solid investment.  His comments have brought him a national audience.  IU is very fortunate indeed that Dean Mitchell has agreed to speak at our campus!

Dean Mitchell will further bring his expertise to the discussion of HOW AND WHY TO PICK A LAW SCHOOL IN TODAY’S ECONOMY.  Tough Q&A will follow.  This is truly a unique opportunity.  If you are serious about law school, you should at least consider what Dean Mitchell has to say.  

When:  Tuesday, February 5, noon to 1:30 PM  (feel free to arrive late or leave early if you must)
Where:  IMU Maple Room
Why:  unique, important information to consider.  And free pizza (in an informal setting)!
NO registration necessary.  Informal attire is fine.

Dean Mitchell will also introduce you to Case Western’s programs, including their focus on experiential learning, global learning opportunities and their strong health, business, and law, technology and the arts programs. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Dean Mitchell, learn more about law school and enjoy lunch. We look forward to seeing you on February 5th!

Pass/Fail Deadline for Full Semester Classes

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4th is the last day to sign up to take a full semester class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2012-2013/policies/academic-policies/pass-fail.shtml): "During their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is available for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, but it can be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300–400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences Foundations, Intensive Writing, Foreign Language, Breadth of Inquiry, Culture Studies, or Critical Approaches to the Arts and Sciences requirements. Nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, minor, or certificate program. During the freshman year, students may elect to take activity courses in the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation on a Pass/Fail basis in addition to the two other permitted courses."
