Please read the textbook assignments before you come to class because lectures and discussions will rely on the readings for background material. At the end of the course, submit your notes on the textbooks. Please prepare duplicate copies of papers which you write for the course, and provide your notes and a first draft. Write two pages per article or chapter. If you cannot attend class, please contact me.
Absences generally have a negative impact on grades.
Failure to submit required notes will negatively affect your grade. Make sound generalizations by defending them with historical facts and good thinking.
