The course will involve both lecture and classroom discussion. Each student is expected to have thoroughly studied the assigned material before class and be prepared to participate in class discussion. All written work is expected to be of graduate student quality. That is, it should be logically organized, complete, and lead the reader to a reasoned conclusion. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, proper referencing, and organization will be graded as well as content and presentation.
Attendance is critical.
Missed work may be made up only with prior permission or written certification from a doctor. Grades for missed quizzes or exams will be zero. Students will conform to university policies concerning cheating and plagiarism. Any evidence of cheating or plagiarism will result in a grade of F for the course. Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make necessary accommodations.
