Contact Disability Resources and Services at 215 204-1280 in 100 Ritter Annex to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Guidelines about contacting the instructor: I will try to respond to your email in a timely manner if you have any serious question and concern about the course; however, I encourage you to talk to me before and after the class, and/or during my office hours. Course Description: This course is a comparative course on Jung and the East. It delves into the similarities and differences between Jung's major theories developed after 1928 (e.g., archetypes, collective unconscious, synchronicity) and the representative Eastern theories of Taoist, Buddhist and (Ku alini Yoga) traditions. Main concern is to assess the concept of "Self" (or no-self, true man, Puru a), focusing particularly on the process of "transformation" of psyché that each model aspires to achieve. The process of transformation involved in each model will therefore be examined in close connection with the methods and technés utilized for these processes. A larger concern of this comparative course is to enable each student to theoretically perform a creative synthesis, an eudaimonia, most appropriate for himself and herself. Course Requirements: The student is required to write a substantial paper dealing with a subject-matter related to Jung and the East. A topic for this paper must be approved in advance by the instructor and it should be between 15-20 pages (font 12 Times New Roman,1.5 spaced). S/he must submit a first draft of his/her paper by Dec. 1st, 2011 before turning in a final version on the last day of class. S/He is also required to make one in-class presentation (20 minutes delivery and 20 minutes of discussion) along with a book review on a book of your choice (exactly 4 pages and 1.5 spaced). A topic for presentation must also be approved in advance by the instructor, and when it is presented in class, s/he is kindly asked to distribute an outline to every student in class. The final grade will be determined by averaging the total points achieved for a presentation, a book review and a final paper. (The numerical scale is shown below). In addition, class attendance and participation are also considered toward the final grade. A+ 97-100 B+ 89-87 C+ 79 77 D+ 69-67 A 96-93 B 86-83 C 76 73 D- 62-60

Policy on Religious Holidays: If you will be observing any religious holidays this semester which will prevent you from attending a regularly scheduled class or interfere with fulfilling any course requirement, your instructor will offer you an opportunity to make up the class or course requirement if you make arrangements by informing your instructor of the dates of your religious holidays within two weeks following the beginning of the semester (or three days before any holidays which fall within the first two weeks of class). Policy on Cell Phones: Cell phones, pagers and beepers must be turned off during class except with special permission from your instructor. Attendance Policy: As you can see from the Class Participation and Course Grading
4 Formulas, attendance is very important to your success in this class. You will be excused for 3 absences in the course grading process, but no more. For every 3 absences beyond the first three absences, your course grade will be lowered by one letter grade (e.g., from B- to C+.) Students with an emergency (e.g., death in the family, illness, automobile accident) may have an excused absence, but if such absences amount to more than 20% of class hours for the semester, students should consider the possibility of withdrawal from the class. Policy on Academic Honesty: Temple University believes strongly in academic honesty and integrity. Plagiarism and academic cheating are, therefore, prohibited. Essential to intellectual growth is the development of independent thought and a respect for the thoughts of others. The prohibition against plagiarism and cheating is intended to foster this independence and respect. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another person's labor, another person's ideas, another person's words, another person's assistance. Normally, all work done for courses -- papers, examinations, homework exercises, laboratory reports, oral presentations -- is expected to be the individual effort of the student presenting the work. Any assistance must be reported to the instructor. If the work has entailed consulting other resources -- journals, books, or other media -- these resources must be cited in a manner appropriate to the course. It is the instructor's responsibility to indicate the appropriate manner of citation. Everything used from other sources -- suggestions for organization of ideas, ideas themselves, or actual language -- must be cited. Failure to cite borrowed material constitutes plagiarism. Undocumented use of materials from the World Wide Web is plagiarism. Academic cheating is, generally, the thwarting or breaking of the general rules of academic work or the specific rules of the individual courses. It includes falsifying data; submitting, without the instructor's approval, work in one course which was done for another; helping others to plagiarize or cheat from one's own or another's work; or actually doing the work of another person. Students must assume that all graded assignments are to be completed individually unless otherwise noted in writing in this syllabus. I reserve the right to refer any cases of suspected plagiarism or cheating to the University Disciplinary Committee; I also reserve the right to assign a grade of "F" for the given paper, quiz or test.
