Eveyr year at this time, I struggle with the structure of my course
syllabi, and move bits an pieces around with wild abandon.  At the end of
my struggles, my course outline will be filled with headings like this:
------------------------
** <2015-10-06 Tue> Spatial History
Thinking about the visual presentation of information, especially in map
form
*** Readings
+ Franco Moretti, /Graphs, Maps, Trees/, ch. 1 ([[
http://2012.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/placing-history.pdf][Graphs]]
).
+ Knowles, A. K. “GIS and History.” [[
http://2012.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pariser-filter-bubble.pdf][/Placing
History: How Maps, Spatial Data, and GIS Are Changing Historical
Scholarship/]] (2008): 1–13.
+ Bondenhamer, David J. “History and GIS: Implications for the Discipline.”
/Placing History: How Maps, Spatial Data, and GIS Are Changing Historical
Scholarship/ (2008): 219-234.
+ Theibault, John. “[[
http://writinghistory.trincoll.edu/evidence/theibault-2012-spring/][Visualizations
and Historical Arguments]].” Writing History in the Digital Age, March 23,
2012.
*** Lab: Google Maps and Javascript
--------------------------

Unfortunately, the Seminar topics, labs, and readings do not always match
up very well. It occurs to me that it would be preferable to maintain
separate trees of seminar topics and labs, and merge them, so eg:

* Topics
** Introduction
** Crowds and Publics
** Spatial History

* Labs
** Intro to HTML
** Styling with CSS
** The Google Maps Javascript API

The two subtrees can be manipulated independently, then merged to create
something like:

* Schedule
** <2015-09-15>
*** Seminar: Introduction
*** Lab: Intro to HTML

(each subheading will also include content, e.g., a description of the
class, some lab instructions, etc.).

Is there an easy way to do this already? Or is the best thing to do to
write a piece of elisp that generates the appropriate structure using
org-element, and put that code in a babel block? And if the latter, does
anyone, um, want to write the code for me?

Many thanks for your help,
Matt

I keep separate headings for readings, discussion questions, lectures,
etc., and don't attach dates directly to the headings.  Then, I put
together a course calendar as a table that includes links to all the
relevant parts.  I export this to html, using Fabrice Niessen's
ReadTheOrg stylesheet, and I'm good to go.  My students like it, too. 

Not sure if this is what you're after, but it is working for me.

All the best,
Tom

Here is a link to the course syllabus and schedule, so you can see the
result:

http://www.tsdye.com/anth_323/anth_323_syllabus.html

My students seem to appreciate the Course Calendar and they definitely
appreciate the ReadTheOrg style.

I've attached the Org mode source, which probably depends on some code
in my library of Babel.  At least you'll be able to see how I structure
the file and use internal links.  I really like using the ID properties
for internal links to headlines, so I'm free to change the headline text
without breaking the link.

Also, there is a bunch of material in the attached file related to
exporting slide-show lectures to pdf, which you can ignore.  I've
stripped out the lecture content because it's not relevant to your
query.

All the best,
Tom

#+TITLE: Fall 2015 ANTH 323 Pacific Islands Archaeology
#+AUTHOR: Thomas S. Dye
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\myuni}{University of Hawai`i at M\={a}noa}

 - Classroom: Saunders Hall 345
 - Meeting Times: MWF 12:30--1:20
 - Instructor: Dr. Thomas S. Dye (tdye@hawaii.edu)
   - Office: Saunders Hall 346B
   - Office Hour: Friday 11:00--12:00, or by appointment

* Syllabus
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EXPORT_FILE_NAME: anth-323-f15-syllabus
  :EXPORT_TITLE: Fall 2015 Syllabus for ANTH 323
  :END:

This course is an introduction to archaeological research in Oceania,
a region including the islands of Polynesia, Melanesia, and
Micronesia. The exploration of this oceanic world, the ability of
Pacific Islanders to colonize remote, environmentally diverse
landforms, and their success developing a range of island societies
represent remarkable achievements in the history of humanity. We will
examine evidence for systematic long-distance voyaging, the human
colonization of previously uninhabited landscapes, and the independent
evolution of cultures descendant from a common ancestral heritage. The
course is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

The central questions we address are: What is archaeology's place in
the study of Oceania's past alongside oral history, history,
historical linguistics, comparative ethnography, and genetics?  What
have been archaeology's main contributions to the history of Oceania?
What is the future of archaeology in Oceania?

This class is writing intensive. There will be a research paper (10
pages plus bibliography) and other shorter writing assignments. This
course is designed for upper-division undergraduates and graduate
students. We welcome all students with interests in Oceania. A
background in archaeology is helpful but not a prerequisite.

** Textbook

The required textbook for this semester is Patrick Kirch's /On the
Road of the Winds:/ /An Archaeological History of the Pacific Islands
before European Contact/.

Kirch is an emeritus professor at the University of California
Berkeley.  He grew up in M\amacron{}noa, attended Punahou School, earned a
Bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and went on to
earn a PhD in Anthropology at Yale University. He has an unparalleled
range of archaeological experience throughout the Pacific starting
when he was a teenager in Hawai`i and continuing today.  He is:
  - an avid reader about all things Pacific who has made contributions
    to the fields of linguistics and anthropology, in addition to archaeology;
  - a strong proponent of a multi-disciplinary approach that
    integrates archaeology with various natural sciences, linguistics,
    and ethnography;
  - a prolific author with a fluid writing style.

We will read and discuss the book critically, focusing primarily on
the archaeological materials and secondarily on the relationship of
archaeological evidence to other kinds of evidence.  In addition, in
class discussions and through students' term paper research, we will
discuss findings made since the textbook was published more than a
decade ago.

** Class Meetings

The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 to 1:20 in
Saunders Hall 345.  The class is organized as a seminar, so please sit
at the table.

The course is structured to maximize discussion time during class
meetings.  The successful student will come to class well-prepared and
eager to engage in discussion.  In particular, please prepare for
class by completing the reading and pondering the discussion questions.

All inquiry begins with doubt.  Please come to class with questions of
your own!

Tip: Discuss your term paper research in class, as appropriate.  The
responses you get from your instructor and fellow students might help
you understand your term paper topic in a new or interesting way.

** Grading

Your grade will be based on the total number of points you earn in the
mid-term examination, research paper, discussion papers, annotated
maps, and class participation.  Note that you must complete the final
term paper and turn it in on time to pass the course.

*** Distribution of Points

There are 127 possible points. Their distribution is as follows:

  :END:

In this course you will undertake a term-long writing project on the
general topic of Pacific Islands archaeology.  Please write about a
specific topic that particularly interests you.  Your topic might
concern:
 - some facet of archaeological practice in the Pacific
 - the history of archaeological research in an island, island group, or region
 - Pacific Islands archaeology in its disciplinary nexus, such as its
   relationship to the physical and life sciences or to written and
   oral history
 - an archaeological assemblage from a particular island, island group, or region
 - an archaeological sequence from an island, island group, or region
 - a cha\icirc{}ne op\eacute{}ratoire for a particular artifact
 - archaeological evidence for a cultural process of some kind
 - archaeological evidence for or against a particular theory of
   change or development

** Choose topic (Friday 9/4)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       B0AC070B-B855-4C7E-86CE-3A61CFCDFC7B
   :END:

Your first task is to focus the topic more sharply. Remember:
"topics" are broad. Your initial proposal will state your
topic and list some preliminary questions that you hope to
investigate.

** Form questions (Friday 9/11)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       2FCB770C-8B4D-4C5F-8A99-0A6135F00272
   :END:

Different topics suggest different strategies, including consulting
special subject encyclopedias, referring to peer-reviewed journals,
and even using Google. As we talk about how to use sources to refine
your thinking, you will also learn how to find the information that
you need. We will also talk about what to do when, for instance, you
find material that undermines your initial premise, or sources that
are at odds with each other. We will discuss how to use sources
responsibly.

** Refine proposal (Friday 9/18)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       D8A45370-E7AD-4353-9B9D-D129218DC5FF
   :END:

Research requires the continual refinement of a topic and a set of
research questions. Accordingly, you are likely to challenge your
initial premises and arrive at various conclusions as you work. For
this assignment, you should present a refined proposal and a set of
focused questions that reflect your current thinking about your
research.

** Pitch research (Wednesday 9/23)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       138B03A7-9B87-4098-BD44-FC91FDD80019
   :END:

Here you will pitch your research plan in class. Your “pitch session”
should include a succinct statement of your proposed argument, the
questions you intend to address, and some plan for
addressing/researching these questions. Your classmates' and
instructor's responses will help you to see the strengths and
weaknesses of your research plan.

** Abstract and bibliography (Friday 10/2)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       572B02A2-3033-49B9-B116-3572FC837760
   :END:

Write a 75 word abstract summarizing the paper you think you're going
to write. Attach a draft of your bibliography. This bibliography
should identify a list of five or more sources that include books,
journals, and on-line resources.  You can use Google and Wikipedia as
much or little as you like, but your bibliography /must/ include
some books and journal articles.

** Introduction and outline (Friday 10/9)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       221B8BD9-1A77-4D87-8632-B5E64254A1D7
   :END:

By this step, you should have a working thesis and introduction for
your term paper. Your introduction should contextualize your thesis
and engage your reader. It should also offer the reader a suggestion
of your paper's structure.

** Two body paragraphs (Friday 10/16)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       1B3777A1-553F-4E48-B10A-C2197AE4E635
   :END:

You will write, and your classmates and instructor will review, a
couple of body paragraphs in class to determine how well you've set
up, employed, analyzed, and cited your sources. A discussion of
plagiarism is included here.

** First draft (Friday 10/30)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       E731767D-7E28-4114-81C5-0D2737E71DB7
   :END:

Here your goal is to produce a coherent whole.  The draft can be rough
but it should have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.  It also
needs in-text citations and a bibliography of references cited! You
will receive feedback on your draft.

   :ID:       C5E8760C-8F92-4A8D-BD7C-9FDF5A3759E2
   :END:

Your research presentation should /not/ be a simple "replay" of your
topic but should be re-designed so that you
 - spend some time talking spontaneously
 - employ more than one medium 
 - engage your classmates in discussion 

A successful presentation will focus on one part of the research,
without trying to cover all of the research in your paper. You will
have twenty minutes to make your presentation; this will include time
devoted to questions and answers.

Your presentation will be graded separately from your paper.

You can complete up to six discussion papers, each of which is 1--2
pages long, optionally including a bibliography, and worth a maximum
of 3 points.  Choose a discussion question from the appropriate list
and write a well-structured, short essay that attempts to answer it.
Each discussion paper should have an introductory paragraph, one or
more body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph.

<<logic>>
Where appropriate, please consider the three step logic of
archaeological inquiry as it relates to your discussion question:
 - acquisition: prepare an artifact assemblage for study
 - construction: abstract a quality used to classify and/or
     measure the artifact assemblage in order to find patterns in
     content, space, and/or time
 - reconstitution: elaborate a reason for the structure found in the
      artifact assemblage, either a
  - social scientific law: universal quality of human behavior,
       irrespective of time and place, or a
  - historical process: change in human behavior in the context of
       a particular time and place

  :END:
You can earn a maximum of 1 point a week by attending all of the class
sessions during the week and /contributing meaningfully/ to the
discussion.  One way to participate meaningfully is to contribute
definitions to the [[id:BC344281-5A95-4E17-96B7-F0E3AD14FCB8][list of long and/or obscure words]] in the textbook.

  - If you miss a class session you cannot earn a class participation
    point for that week
  - Your instructor solely determines whether or not you contributed
    meaningfully to the discussion


* Long and/or Obscure Words

The following list includes definitions for unusual words in /On the
Road of the Winds/, organized by chapter.  The list is a class project built up
over the semester.

** Introduction
 - Cyclopean :: A style of construction often applied to walls built
      of large boulders of a size which called for giants to handle
      them and with interstices filled up with small stones.
 - megalith :: Literally, a big stone.  Often applied as a general
      term to monuments which incorporate such stones into their
      construction.
 - in situ :: In its original position.

file for viewing with Adobe Acrobat (doesn't work in Skim).  It is set
up to playback the audio file in the link when the pdf page is first

A playback window shows progress.  It appears at the top right corner

Its typical use is at the beginning or end of a slide.

You should probably use a key for matching.  Otherwise I can promise you
it will get messy (it seems you want to match based on the location in the
three).

Probably the best way might be a custom exporter.  ox-koma-script collects
"special headlines" and insert them later.  You could do the same.

Sounds like the job of a personal, underpaid slav...  TA!
