Graduate students can earn credit by attending the lectures and seminars and can take the course s/u or for a grade. The seminar is organized very flexibly, so students can take from one to three credits in a term. Students may decide at any point which lecture and seminar series to attend for credit, and it is possible to register for credits at any point in the semester.

A student can earn one credit by attending all lectures and seminars in a two week visit or by attending all of the events during two one week visits. By attending the lectures, doing the reading, and attending the seminar a student earns s/u credit. By doing that work and writing a short critique of the readings a student earns credit with a letter grade. Written work for Sociology 994 should be given to the Visiting Scholar during the visit, and copies should go to Professor Erik Wright by the last week of the semester. Students may wish to pair visits thematically to compile several credits or simply earn credit for those visits which they find most interesting.

The readings are available online or through the Havens Center office, 8119 Social Sciences. For more information about Sociology 994 call the Havens Center at 262-1420 (room 8117) or Erik Wright at 262-0068 or 255-6454 (room 8112) or wright@ssc.wisc.edu.
