General Expectations Attend class. Participate in class. Respect everyone in the classroom. Complete homework and reading assignments before coming to class. Hand in written assignments on time.
Class meets three times a week.
On Fridays, students will meet in small discussion groups. You will be expected to prepare your readings and associated worksheets in advance of class. Lectures may not review reading assignments directly, but will use them as a point of departure and to introduce additional material to explore the topics under consideration. Friday discussion sections may also introduce new material from time to time, and offer new ways of interpreting both the lectures and the assigned readings. Finally, both the midterm and the final exam will draw on all of the material covered in lectures, discussions, readings, and in other assignments.
