These are the courses I currently teach at Ashesi University College, Accra Ghana.
Written and Oral Communication
Course description:
This course offers an introduction to the practices of reading and writing for general university studies. Students will develop their academic writing and analytical skills through critical reading, group discussion and various writing assignments. Strong emphasis will be placed on revising, with weekly workshops for discussion of student work.
Course objectives:
- Discovering how writing and reading can be tools of learning and critical thinking.
- Practicing communicating clearly through writing.
- Learning about elements of argument and persuasion.
- Developing skills for finding, evaluating and citing academic texts and other sources.
- Entering the continuous conversation of academic scholarship.
Social Theory
Course Description:
The Social Theory course provides an examination of various key theorists whose ideas have greatly influenced the world in which we live. The course provides a thematic examination of political philosophy and attempts to consider the social, political and economic conditions that bind societies together. In order to accomplish this Social Contract Theory will form a hypothetical model from which to consider the basis of achieving a stable and well ordered society. Ideas on individual freedom and economic liberalism will be examined in terms of their social progression leading to the formation of liberal democratic states. Then Conservative ideology with its emphasis on preserving custom and tradition will be considered in relation to the revolutionary theories of Marxism. The course will conclude with a section devoted to the effects of Globalization and pose the question as to whether the "New World Order" is destined to be characterized by a sense of apathy and nihilism.
Course Objectives:
- Introduce the student to new concepts of analysis through various selected texts and ideologies chosen for review.
- Illustrate how social contract theory has contributed to shaping many of the central features of the modern world.
- Gain an understanding of the methodologies that lie within the discipline of Social Sciences.
- Encourage a sense of initiative when undertaking independent research projects and collating data from various sources.
- Develop the ability to present arguments with the use of critical thinking and establish reasoned judgment.
For this course, we are experimenting with social media for better interaction between lecturers and students. Follow the 2013 class on twitter #ashst.
(Earlier experiments include the 2012 class on Twitter @socthe and the 2010 course blog here: Social Theory Blog.)
Leadership Seminar 1
Course Description:
In this course we will ask the question:"What makes a good leader?" In assuming the answer contains an element of self-knowledge we attempt to take a closer look at who we are, what our personal strengths are and how we act in different situations. In accordance, a section of the course will be devoted to the Giving Voice to Values curriculum which encourages self-expression of personal values in our everyday lives. Another section of the course focuses on role models, their motivation, habits and civic responsibility. Over the semester, a personal skill should be identified and developed for a final presentation and paper.
Course Objectives:
- foster critical thinking.
- challenge students to accept leadership roles.
- develop personal strengths and promote self-realization.
- encourage giving voice to values in everyday life situations.
- create awareness of leadership motivations, habits and responsibilities.
Text and Meaning
Course description:
This course will approach the study of literary theory and critical analysis in an entirely new way! Instead of applying various schools of critical theory to a fixed canon of "great works", students will examine a variety of text and consider the extent to which interpretation is merely a controlled response to social doctrine. In order to accomplish this, the term "text" will be used in its broadest possible sense, so as to include: literature, newspapers, speeches, advertising, film and documentary. By the end of the course students will be left with a question rather than an answer! But it shall be the very nature of this question that will have developed skills in critical thinking and analysis.
Course objectives:
- Become conversant with various schools of critical theory and be able to apply these ideologies to a variety of set text.
- Develop key skills in critical thinking and analysis as a means by which to make decisions with reasoned judgment.
- Gain an appreciation and awareness of high and low brow culture and consider their significance in shaping the society in which we live.
- Create independent thinkers who can apply skills in critical analysis to a variety of work related situations.
- Develop the ability to present arguments that are based upon established principles of logic, sense and reason.
Giving Voice to Values
Course description:
This seminar style course is an introduction to the ethical standards of the Ashesi Community and an adaptation of Mary C. Gentile's business curriculum Giving Voice to Values (GVV)[1], a values-based leadership program intended for MBA students in the USA. The course offers a toolkit for effectively handling different kinds of ethical dilemmas or value conflict situations. Assuming we can all distinguish between what is right or wrong, the course takes a practical approach to ethics and asks how we can make sure we give voice to our values, every time. Through writing assignments, self-assessments, scenario scripting and group discussions we jointly practice the difficult art of standing up for what we believe is right. You will develop your self-knowledge and discover your strengths and weaknesses in social situations. You will also get a chance to analyze and practice your actions and options in value conflict situations.
Course objectives:
- Establishing personal enablers and disablers to voicing values.
- Practicing how to communicate values effectively.
- Developing skills to handle value conflict situations involving peers, family members and elders but also in university environment specific situations.
- Improving personal integrity and recognizing the value of integrity in others.
- Preparing freshmen for the honour code conversation.

About Teaching
I teach across the whole social sciences spectrum and have an pedagogic inclination towards Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and Giving Voice to Values (GVV).
For a more comprehensive and practical guide to WAC I recommend the following book: Bean, John C. 2001. Engaging Ideas. The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom. Jossey Bass, San Fransisco.
For guidance on a GVV influenced curriculum, Mary Gentile's document, linked to above is a good start.

The Western Hemisphere Initiative changed they way people traveled across international borders between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. On June 1, 2009, travelers visiting these countries were not required to carry more than just a driver's license or birth certificate when traveling by air, sea and land. Though passport books are required to all air travel to foreign countries, countries that are a part of the WHTI have other restrictions and regulations.
U.S. Territories
There are countries which U.S. citizens can travel without any form of passport book, passport card or other additional citizenship documentation. U.S. territories, such as Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Somoa are countries where no passport or travel documentation is required. To visit these countries a U.S. citizen only needs to show a state-issued photo identification card or driver's license.
Canada and Mexico
The WHTI gives U.S. citizens access to Canada and Mexico without requiring a passport book when traveling by land or sea. A passport card is accepted and is a smaller and cheaper version of a passport that can be used to travel to countries listed on the WHTI by motor vehicle, foot or boat. Alternative WHTI compliant documentation is also accepted when traveling this way to Canada or Mexico.
Caribbean and Bermuda
Just like when traveling to Canada and Mexico, U.S. citizens can access the countries without having a passport book when not flying. Since it is impossible to drive to these islands, a passport card will be the only accepted form on identification that can be used to visit by sea.
WHTI Compliant Documentation
When traveling to countries that are part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative you will need to have proper documentation with you before you are allowed to cross the border to another country. Passport books can be used for all air travel to these countries and a passport card can be used for land and sea travel. Other compliant documentation includes an enhanced drivers license or be a member of a certain group. The EDL is issued in Washington, New York, Vermont and Michigan and denotes country of citizenship. Members of the U.S. Military, native Americans and merchant marines can travel into these countries with proof of membership.

SASKATOON, Sask. — Saturday, Alexis Normand went from regionally known fransaskoise jazz/folk performer with a niche following to breaking the Internet after staking a place aside Carl Lewis and Roseanne Barr for the all-time worst performances of The Star-Spangled Banner prior to a sports event.
There was an instant awareness among the media at the Memorial Cup that they had just witnessed a debacle destined to be replayed more years. Part of being a performer, though, is knowing not everything will go perfectly. It turns out Normand will be an anthem singer again on Tuesday, although she will only need to perform O Canada since it's a Halifax Mooseheads-London Knights game an the Portland Winterhawks are idle.
From Kevin Mitchell:
"I was swearing at myself," she recalls, "and trying to decide — do I leave, do I stay? I'm like 'no — you can't leave now, it would be worse to leave and come back and do it again.' By the time I was trying to decide what to do and swearing at myself, the crowd started encouraging me, singing along and helping me get through it. I felt supported. I was like, okay, this is embarrassing, but suck it up, buttercup — chug along. Also, there was another anthem after this one. This is just the beginning." (Saskatoon StarPhoenix)
No doubt it's been a rough 24 hrs! Thanks to everyone who has sent supportive messages! I also empathize with victims of cyber-bullying.
— Alexis Normand (@Alex6Normand) May 20, 2013
As for as getting another shot at the U.S. national anthem, Normand told Mitchell she isn't sure when that would happen. Perhaps that's a Tosh 2.0 web redemption waiting to happen. Another way to even it up would be, if Normand is game, perform The Star-Spangled Banner at a Winterhawks home game next season, or before another Portland team's game. People have the capacity to forgive and would no doubt be welcoming, since Normand has shown genuine contrition for what happened.
When I'm singing the national anthem, in some ways, I'm an ambassador for Saskatoon and Saskatchewan and Canada," she said. "I know I let a lot of people down, and I'm very sorry."
It says here the buck doesn't stop with Nornand entirely. There was apparently a lot of reverberation when she performed and that might have rattled her. Also, the event staff at Credit Union Centre might have helped out by displaying the anthem lyrics on the videoboard, as some sports teams do. Hindsight is 20/20, though, so Alexis Normand has to own it.

Closer to the city centre than Pudong Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is the main domestic airport of Shanghai and features limited international flights from Shanghai as well.
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is situated adjacent to the main railway station, Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, which is a major hub for three high-speed railways. The airport is also served by three metro stations, that provide a direct link to the city centre and connections to other parts of the city as well. Taxi companies provide transportation to the airport, as do city buses. There is also a minibus route. Parking options available at the airport also make it possible to drive yourself to catch your flights from Shanghai to Paris.
While you are waiting to board your flights from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, you can find anything you want to eat at the airport, from fast foods and local fare to fine dining. Designer clothing and goods, from Chanel to Prada, fill the outlets, and duty-free stores are well-supplied with smoking accoutrements, books and souvenirs. Trendy kiosks are packed with plenty of touristy trinkets to pick from before heading out to board your plane.

Flights to Paris arrive at one of the city's two airports, both of which have good transport links to the city centre by train, bus or taxi. It is easy to travel around, with the Metro providing the cheapest and most efficient means of transport for tourists. Spring is the perfect time to explore Paris, as temperatures are comfortably warm and ideal for sightseeing. In winter, the temperatures drop significantly, whilst August is the traditional French holiday period and sees many Paris residents relocating to the coast.
Paris is home to the football team Paris Saint Germain, who play in France's Ligue 1. The city also hosts one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world, the French Open, which attracts the biggest stars in the world. Sport plays a significant part in the daily social scene in France, and local squares are the preferred meeting place for a game of boules.
After arrival on flights Paris, no visit would be complete without sampling some of the most acclaimed restaurants in the world. Whether it is a meal at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the famous art deco Les Deux Magots or sampling some of the up-and-coming gastronomic delights across the city, Parisians certainly know how to make food the focal point of an evening. Paris is one of the most eclectic and exciting cities in Europe. Each of its twenty arrondissements has its own style and personality, making it a vibrant escape.

Three players on the Frozen Four-bound Wisconsin men's hockey team, as well as head coach Mike Eaves, all earned honors recently. Junior goalie Brian Elliott was named to Inside College Hockey's first-team All-America list, and senior defenseman Tom Gilbert and sophomore forward Joe Pavelski earned second-team honors.
Eaves was named one of 11 finalists for the Spencer Penrose Award for the nation's top Division I men's hockey coach after guiding the Badgers to a 28-10-3 record and a spot in the Frozen Four. The Badgers face Maine (28-11-2) in the semifinals Thursday, April 6. A win over Maine would qualify UW to face the winner of the Boston College-North Dakota matchup in the national championship game April 8.
Elliott is also one of three finalists for the 2006 Hobey Baker Award, while Gilbert was named to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's first team and the 2006 NCAA Midwest Regional All-Tournament team. Pavelski earned second-team All-WCHA honors after finishing fourth in the league in scoring with 39 points in 28 conference games. He is the team's leading scorer with 53 points. He was named to the NCAA Midwest Regional All-Tournament team after scoring a hat trick against Bemidji State in the regional semifinal.
Lightweight rowing ranked No. 1 in poll
The two-time defending national champion Wisconsin women's lightweight rowing team topped the list of ranked teams, according to USRowing, which released its first poll Thursday. The Wisconsin men's team is ranked No. 11 in its poll. The lightweight women's team returns five members of the 2005 championships boat.
The Badger men's rowing team's varsity eight boat finished 10th at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championships last season and its second varsity eight (including four sophomores) placed third.
The Wisconsin women's openweight varsity eight was ranked ninth in the most recent USRowing poll.
Cross country team to meet President Bush
The Wisconsin men's cross country team, along with the other six fall sports teams that won national championships, will be honored at the White House April 6.
Last November, the Wisconsin men's cross country team won its first team title since 1988, placing all five scorers in the top 17. Senior Simon Bairu won the individual title for the second straight year.
The trip to Washington, D.C., includes a championship reception with President George W. Bush, a tour of historic White House rooms and a speech by Bush on the White House South Lawn. The Badgers will pose for a team photo with Bush and present him with a gift.

This project has taken over a year of work and has uncovered some amazing things from the mid 1920's up until the present. We will have the 3 lowest living AP's (67, 68 and 69) talking about this project and sharing some of the stories from what was discovered in researching the project. I assure you, you will not want to miss this. On Saturday, the Alumni Chapter Meeting will be informative and you will hear all about our exciting future plans and how we will build upon our recent successes. We're also making a renewed commitment to our National Service Project the Ability Experience (Formally PUSH, Project Push, Push America) and will be raising funds with a fun bowling outing. Finally, we will gather at the home of our Housing Corporation President, Mike Turner's and enjoy an evening with a catered dinner, drinks and talk about the next steps for Alpha Rho. It's going to be a great weekend, especially if we can get you to join us.

A batch of 10 nanofarms will be delivered to beta testers this week. 20 more will be delivered within a month. The beta test is limited to customers living in the Atlanta metro area because it allows in-person support. All beta testers will start with a crop of lettuce to serve as a control. In subsequent crops, beta testers will be able to choose from a growing list of Plant Pads, which will be mailed to them in a standard envelope.
The feedback gathered from beta testers will influence the design of the production version of the nanofarm as well as the design of the Plant Pads.
The duration of the beta test is not predetermined. It will continue as long as is needed to verify that the nanofarm functions as expected.

Share on ThriftyFunThis guide contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
Fruit fresh made easy! Fruit-Fresh is so expensive and there is so little in the can. The main ingredient is vitamin C or ascorbic acid. I got to thinking and bought some chewable vitamin C tablets, crushed them in water, and mixed into my fruit salad. Works great and keeps the fruit from browning and tastes fine. Works wonderfully!
By karla from Eugene, OR
Depending on what's in your fruit salad or what your using the fruit for, I use orange juice in fruit salad and dip in a lemon juice/water mix for dehydrating or canning. A quick dip doesn't add lemon taste.
This is a guide about prevent apples slices from turning brown. When you need to store cut apples for later use, there are a few ways to keep them looking fresh.
Squeeze lemon juice on fruit salad and it will not brown quickly. Some grapefruit juice will work as well and will taste even better (if you like the taste of grapefruits).
By ThriftyFun
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
When I cut fresh fruit for a salad it turns Brown. How can I keep this from happening?
Thanks for your help,
Missy from Las Vegas
I've read this tip in a recipe book the other day. I must try it out first though. They say that you must pop an apple, banana or avocado quickly in boiling water before peeling it. The skin of the banana and avo might turn black, but the fruit will not be affected. After this, the fruit will not turn brown once peeled. I don't know - it sounds too good to be true. I will try it and let you know.
A few years ago I bought a product named "Tater White" which was used mostly by restaurants. It worked well on any fruits or vegetable and took only a small amount. One package lasted me for years, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know where I can find it?
I have heard to put lemon juice or salt water on it.
If you don't want fruit to brown put them in water with a vitamin c tablet. It does work. I used it for a science experiment.
I heard lemon juice works
Keep a fruit such as an apple or pear in a fresh fruit container and put it in the fridge. Make sure fruit is fresh or use lemon juice.
Pineapple juice works just as well as lemon and tastes a lot better too.
How do you keep fresh peaches from turning brown on desserts?
Esoper from Franklinton, NC
Lemon juice helps keep them from turning or, if you are using a glaze, cut them right into the glaze and toss. The air flow is what causes them to turn brown. I use a little lemon juice with a little water just enough to coat but not enough to flavor them. Good luck and enjoy those peaches. Also some people just use sugar on them and that seems to help some
Soak all cut fruits in sprite or 7 up for few minutes. Adds flavor and prevents them from turning. Even works on bananas.
I've also used this trick on fresh fruit salad. Pour a can of 7-Up over your peaches/fruit. Drain, before serving. On fruit salad, it gives it a nice sparkly flavor too.
I use something called fruit fresh. You can usually find it in the aisle of your grocer where the pectin for making jams is.
I learned this while serving as a demonstrator in supermarkets. Soak fruit in pineapple juice. Hope this helps!
I use frozen concentrated orange juice to keep peaches from turning brown. Wash approx. 15-20 peaches, slice with the skins on for nutritional value, add one 12 oz. can frozen concentrated orange juice, mix well to thoroughly coat and place in freezer bags. The orange juice adds a delicious flavor and color to the peaches and is sure to please. One of my favorite recipes is peach cobbler: thaw a bag of peaches and add topping, nothing needs to be added to the peaches.
When slicing bananas to put in a gelatin salad, how do I keep them from turning dark?
