Humanities 101

The Humanities 101 guide is designed to assist you with locating documents for your course assignment. These guidelines are intended to supplement, not replace, the instructions outlined in your syllabus. The information and resources provided in this guide work as a resource in locating needed materials to complete your notebook. Following the outlined requirements in your Humanities handout and pairing them with suggested outlined resources will aid you in successfully completing requirements for the course.

Articles from periodicals Art News and Alabama Heritage have been selected and grouped in a binder. The articles are on reserve in the campus libraries. However, the articles may not be taken from the library, but students may read them on site or make copies.
