I would like to thank Connie Teixeira for her willingness to supply transcripts of the notes she transcribed. She attended the Fall 2005 Western Civilization in a World Perspective course as a court reporter for a deaf student. The transcripts here include everything said in class--well as close to possible considering my New York accent and rapid speech. At some point I hope to find the time to correct the few errors and eliminate all my bad jokes. |
