Three in-class essay exams, one after each section. Study and explanation sheets will be passed out in class, as necessary. The class participation grade is partially based on your attendance. If you are not here to do group work or participate in a class activity for which points are given, you cannot make it up. In the case of circumstances beyond your control causing you to miss class, you should see me as soon as possible to explain your absence.
All work is due on the days noted in the syllabus.
I will take one letter grade off for each class that your annotated bibliography is late. If you must miss an exam due to circumstances beyond your control, I must be notified before the exam or within 24 hours afterwards or you will forfeit your chance to make up the exam. All make-up exams must be done within 1 week of the scheduled exam. Incompletes will be given only in cases of grave illness or other circumstances preventing you from completing the course. These must be arranged prior to the end of the semester, and you must be present to sign the necessary paperwork.
