Participation is very important to this class. Attendance will be taken at each class session. You will write a minimum of five electronic comments on the material studied during the course of the semester. If you are not in class, you cannot receive credit for in-class participation. Students will refrain from ad hominem argument in their responses.
Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date unless notice is given to the contrary.
Late assignments may be accepted, but are subject to late penalties. Each of you will be a member of one of several groups. Your group may be called upon for class presentations. You should get to know the members of your group and call upon them for advice, analysis and support where needed. The first outline of your paper will be submitted in a blind review process to another class member who will critique it for ideas and organization.
