This tutorial employs one-on-one or small group discussions to examine selected texts from the period of the American founding utilizing diverse disciplinary perspectives. In consultation with a faculty supervisor, cadets select an area of focus (e.g., Tom Paine?s Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, etc.) as the basis for a tailored reading program. Areas of focus may vary year to year in accordance with student interest and faculty expertise. The course meets for approximately 750 minutes (10 meetings x 75 minutes) and concludes with an oral examination by a committee of faculty members representing different disciplines.
