Thursday, May 24 at the beginning of class. We will discuss your papers on this day and complete course evaluations as well.
Attendance is mandatory as usual.
Late work will not be accepted but partially completed work will be awarded partial credit if it arrives by the deadline. Failure to meet requirements will result in arbitrary penalty. Although you are not required to use outside material in developing your arguments, you are encouraged to use material from previous Politics and Economics courses as it relates to our topics of human nature and levels of social order and supplements our course readings. The threshold for excellence will be high on these papers as they are your opportunity to demonstrate your depth of understanding and ability to think creatively about the topics we explore. I am willing to make general comments on first drafts if they arrive sufficiently ahead of the deadline.
