                                             expectedto do the following 2 things
                                             before Maria's class:1) On one A4 paper,
                                             I would like you to write:

                                             I) Three reasons for why this topic is an
                                             important part of the course, and
                                             something that you need to study and
                                             understand

                                             II) 2 ideas that you have on each of the
                                             following pairs: border control & ethics,
                                             border control & human rights, border
                                             control & privacy.

                                             Use bullet points and print out two (2)
                                             copies; one for yourself and one for me to
                                             look through when you are doing group
                                             discussions.2) Fill and print out this
                                             ethical survey:

                                             http://www.lmu.edu/Page23849.aspx
                                             (Loyola Marymont University) as well as
                                             the result page. The survey will be used as
                                             a basis of a discussion, so one copy for
                                             yourself is enough.
