----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- One follow-up to the various quite helpful and interesting comments I have received. In checking out the various web url's that Susan Feiner listed, none seemed to get me to the Robert Kloss piece on "A Nudge" (though one did lead to what looks like a quite interesting summary and applicaiton of the Bowles/Gintis correspondence principle regarding the class based nature of education). However, I was able to find the Kloss piece on the web simply by entering Robert Kloss in google and linking to an item headed "A Nudge.." This was on the UC Davis Honors program website for its honors seminars, which looks to have a lot of quite interesting further material and resources for teaching undergrad seminars besides the Kloss piece. Its url is www.honors.ucdavis.edu/fh/ct/kloss.htm. I do appreciate Susan's reference, since I had not heard of the Kloss piece before, I do appreciate that url's get out of date or are easy to garble. Her various suggestions for handouts I also found useful. Thanks to STeven Horowitz for the reference to the Finkel "Teaching with your Mouth Shut" book which I found available through Amazon for around $25. One can browse the contents on Amazon. Thanks also to whoever mentioned the Association for Core Texts and Courses, which someone else has recently menitoned to me. It does look like a relevant organization.
