The final examination will be of the take-home variety. It will be cumulative and comprehensive. Late examination papers will only be accepted with the approval of the instructor, and may be subject to grade penalties. These dates and rules are fixed in krypton-coated granite. There is no makeup for the midterm, and obviously there is none for the final.
All examinations are of the essay type, and weight readings more heavily than class materials.
All students must complete a critical reaction paper on each of the reading assignments given below and reiterated in class. These papers will be explained in class, and their due dates assigned. All students must complete individual and group projects. They can emphasize outside readings, investigate a topic through library research, or consist of a field study or empirical research. Students have a wide range to pursue their interests, but they need to discuss their projects with the instructor early in the course, and on a regular basis throughout the term.
