COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course examines the prospects of integrating Muslim minorities into European
Societies. It will analyze the complexity and diversity of Islam in Europe. In Eastern
Europe, Islamic minorities are indigenous and have a long history of co-habitation with religious and ethnic others while in Western Europe the Islamic minorities constitute themselves through processes of immigration and are perceived more and more as inassimilable others in most of these countries. This course intends to address the issue of “Europeanism” and the different ways it affects the perception of Muslim minorities in Europe. It will examine the different social, political, cultural and economic processes at work in the European countries that shape interaction between these countries and their Islamic minorities.
THEMES
The design of this course is organized by the following themes which serve as topics for weekly class sessions. The themes are as follows: (1.) Historical roots and recent Muslim formation in Europe. (2.) Variations of Muslim presence across European countries. (3.)
European media portrayals and stigmatization of Muslim minorities. (4.) Islam of
Europe versus Islam in Europe. (5.) Islamic practices in a European context. (6.) Islam, state and society in Europe: integration or marginalization. (7.) Global Islam,
Democracy and the New Europe (8.) Islamic organizations, international connections, terrorism and Islamophobia in Europe

PART 11
COURSE POLICIES
SYLLABUS
I reserve the right to make changes to the course and syllabus as I deem necessary.
Students are responsible for reading the syllabus thoroughly so that they are familiar with all policies and the consequences for violating these policies.
ATTENDANCE
Regular and consistent attendance is mandatory. Your success in this course is dependent upon your regular attendance and participation. I will take attendance for each class session. An attendance form will be past-out at the beginning of class. If you should miss the attendance form, it is your responsibility to check the attendance form before you leave class. Otherwise, if your name appears without a check mark you will be counted as absent. If you have a legitimate excuse for missing class i.e., illness, sick child, car troubles, athletic activities, death in the family and family responsibilities, you are eligible for an excused absence. An excused absence requires that I receive an email explaining your absence before 1P.M. on the day for which you are absent. To obtain an excused absence, you must have my permission for your absence. If I do not receive notice explaining your absence, your absence is unexcused; thus, you will forfeit 4 points from your final grade. Please note that each unexcused absence will result in a four point forfeit from your final grade. Students, who must miss class, are responsible

5 for obtaining class notes from another student and should attend office hours to review missed material
TIMELY ARRIVAL TO CLASS
Students are expected to arrive in class on time. Arriving late distracts me and causes disruption in the class. Four points will be deducted from your final grade for each late arrival. If there are circumstances beyond your control which prevents your timely arrival to class, it is your responsibility to speak to me early in the class term.
TECHNOLOGY POLICY
As a general rule all CELL PHONES, IPODS, IPHONES, BLACKBERRY DEVICES,
AND ALL OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MUST BE TURNED OFF AND PUT
AWAY upon entering the classroom. Electronic devices are distracting and it is disrespectful to listen to your iPod, send text messages, send email or read email on your cell phone and/or blackberry during class. While laptops aid in note taking they are also distracting as you are tempted to surf the web and visit social network sites such as Face book, You Tube and send and Twitter. Therefore, in general I prefer that laptops not be used in class. If you do find it better to use a computer for lecture and class notes, then you may use a lap top on condition that you use it only for class work. .
If you engage in the aforementioned behaviors, you will forfeit 10 points from your final grade. Of course student may have a laptop in the classroom if this is a necessary as part of a documented disability accommodation. Students may not record this course in any fashion without written permission from me.
POLICY PERSONAL SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
I assume that many of you work more than 20 hours a week, travel to school in cars that break down or you have a demanding major or you have academic special circumstances or you have obligations to your family or you may have children of your own. I expect that some of you are freshmen learning how to be a good college student.
Please make me aware of any special circumstance that has the potential to or will impact on your performance in this course. I will do all I can to work with you so that you chances of getting a good grade is supported
POLICY CONCERNING MAKE-UP EXAMS
It is not my policy to give make-up exams or to accept work after the due date.
However, I will take under consideration students’ request for a make-up in cases of student documented illness, and for those students who are absent due to university business provided that appropriate documentation is given to me . Acceptable documentation for illness is a note from a physician (not university health service) and/or copies of prescriptions. If given permission to make-up exams, you must make up the exam

6 within seven days. No make-up exam will be given after the 7th day. However, do keep in mind that it is not my policy to grant permission for make-up exams or extend dates for written work.
POLICY CONCERNING LATE SUBMISSION OF REQUIRED WORK
As a matter of strict policy, I do not accept work after the due date and I never accept work that is submitted via email. If for situations beyond your control, you intend to submit work late, you must have my permission and accept a penalty of 10 points. NO
WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED LATE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
OFFICE HOURS
I encourage all students to stop by my office hours about any questions related to the course. Office hours are the single most important resources you have as a student in this university. Take advantage of this resource. Office consultations provide an excellent opportunity for you to get additional information and help with the course material. I ask that all students utilize office hours FIRST instead of email, particularly for questions that require a more in depth answers. Also, I strongly advised all students come to office hours before and after Thanksgiving break to go over your grades and find out your standing in the class. Please note that office hours are listed on the first page of this syllabus.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Please see me early in the semester as possible if you require special accommodation.
This course seeks to accommodate university students of all learning abilities. Please inform me if you have a disability that requires you to take additional time for written assignments, in class quizzes and exams and if you require a note taker. The need for special accommodations must be documented.
STUDENT COURTESY
I value the perspective of all students in my class and I look forward to the productive discussions we will have throughout the semester. Be advised that we may cover course material that challenges your viewpoint and beliefs. I ask that students be respectful to each other in the classroom to foster a comfortable space in which all students feel free to share their perspective throughout the semester. Please keep in mind that a university is a place for adults. Everyone in the class is an adult and I expect adult behavior at all times. The classroom is a setting for learning and not for socializing.
Many students make the mistake to think that since this is a large class, I cannot see students talking and socializing. I have a very good vantage point to see each and everyone in the class. If juvenile behavior persists, I reserve the right to remove the offending students and tell them not to return to class until they can behave as adults.

7
EXPECTED ADULT BEHAVIOR
Once class begins, I EXPECT QUIET IN THE CLASSROOM AND I EXPECT YOUR
ATTENTION; you may think you are whispering but your whispering is loud and I can hear you. It is distracting. Once you enter the classroom and take your seat I consider you committed to staying for the full class period. If you do not intend to stay for the entire class or the entire film, please do not come to class. If you intend to leave class before the end of lecture, you must inform me before class, sit in the back close to the door and leave class as quietly as possible. Be sure not to slam the door.
Please do not come to class if there is any chance that you may leave class before class is over. In other cases, leaving class during lecture (one may leave and return) is rude, distracting and cowardly, especially when my back is turned to the class. I am offended by this rude behavior. Therefore, I expect, if not otherwise informed, that when you come to class you intend to stay in class for the full lecture. Finally, I expect that there will be no talking or chatting or social conversations during class. Class is not a social event. It is un-acceptable to leave class during a lecture, a power point presentation and film. If you do any of these things, 10 points will be deducted from your total points earned at the end of the semester.
POLICY CONCERNING RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
It is the policy of the university to excuse student absences that result from religious observance and to provide for a rescheduling of exams and course work that may fall on a religious holiday. Please tell me at least a week in advance of your intended absence due to religious observance so that accommodations may be made.
WRITING CENTER
Writing is an important part of this course. Students who would like assistance with their composition are encouraged to contact the Writing Center on campus. I highly encourage students to utilize this resource as it will provide one-on-one assistance and feedback on your writing at any stage of the writing process.
<<IMPORTANT: A NOTE ON GRADING>>
Students will receive a final grade that reflects the quality of their work according to guidelines in this syllabus. GRADES WILL NOT BE NEGOTIATED. If, for some reason, you believe your final grade deserves to be reviewed, YOU MUST BRING TWO
COPIES OF A ONE PAGE TYPED (SINGLE SPACED) PETITION IN PERSON TO MY
OFFICE HOURS ON A DATE I DESIGNATE AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. No

8 inquiries regarding grade change will be entertained via email or telephone or without petition.
MUTUAL RESPECT
Once class begins we become a community that has rules. The purpose of our gathering is learning not entertainment, though there is no reason why learning can’t be fun. We each have expectations of the other. You expect me to be prepared and to be a good teacher. I expect you to participate in your learning about cultural anthropology. I expect you come to class prepared, having done your reading, and ready for class participation. The course schedule gives you information about the topic and participation requirements for each class. Review these requirements and come to class prepared to participate. One way to demonstrate mutual respect is, once class begins, you focus on the day’s business in class. Other ways to demonstrate respect include there is no talking or whispering during lecture; you do not leave class while I am speaking and you do not leave class when a movie is shown.
