I will discuss the format of the exams prior to their distribution and will be available for questions prior to their distribution. These quizzes will be over basic information covered in class or in the readings. They will be given to reward students that come to class regularly and who are prepared for discussion. All quizzes will be calculated as part of your grade for the term. Attached is a preliminary course schedule as to how we will proceed this term.
All dates are subject to change with the advance notice of the instructor.
I will give specific reading assignments in class. The schedule is provided for students to keep up with the readings and come to class prepared to discuss, analyze and ask questions about the material. As such, I expect students will read the assigned material before the class it is scheduled for. This is the only way we can have meaningful discourse related to the readings. Remember, this is a fluid process and we may alter the readings as necessary.
