ECON 4198-02 IND 13123
Special Problems Jul 11, 2011-Aug 8, 2011
Those in the various Asian study abroad programs who take my Asian Development
course may sign-up for ECON 4198 as Field Research in Asian Development and get
the same grade for the one hour as they receive for the three hour development
course. Obviously, this course is restricted to those taking my Asian
Development class.
This course is reserved for students in one of the Asian study abroad programs.
I consider this course to be the field work for my development classes,
particularly my Asian Economic Development course. Students who have taken one
of my development classes can enroll for one hour credit which they will
receive upon completion of their study abroad program receiving the grade that
they obtained in my development class. No prior approval is necessary and it
will be stated on the form that the course is for economic development field
study in China or India. Those interested in obtaining the entire 3 hours
credit can with my prior approval, sign-up for the 3 hours and earn it by doing
a report on their trip which I will assign prior to approval and of course
prior to the trip. It is likely if not nearly certain that approval for the
full 3 hours will be limited to those who take Economic Development of China,
India or Asia/Vietnam and Special Problems in Asian Development. In other
words, if your intent is to obtain either 6 or 7 hours credit then enroll in
the two courses formally offered plus this one for 1 hour credit if you wish
the 7th credit.
Students who enroll for three hours and who go to either China or India have
the option of joining the post trip sessions conducted by Dr. Zou for China, Dr. Khumawala for
India and possibly, Dr. Wen for China, and present
and oral report which can be used to satisfy the requirements for this course.
In case I am unable to attend, Dr Zou or Dr. Khumawala will send me a notice that a student or students
made an adequate presentation. The grade that the student made in one of my
development classes will then be assigned for this one. DR KHUMAWALA'S INDIA
TRIP IS NOW OFFERED IN 2011. Similar arrangements will be made for those taking
the Viet Nam study abroad trip.
This information will be provided to Marion Foley (mlfoley@uh.edu, M 208B) so that she can
properly enroll you.
