Students are expected to present a professional quality PowerPoint briefing, and distribute copies of the presentation slides to the class before the talk. Evaluation of student performance Grading is based on written papers, examinations and quizzes, oral presentations, and the final examination. The two 10-page reports, oral presentation, and the final exam must all be successfully completed to pass the course. For each guest speaker, a one-page point paper is due at the beginning of the next class. No make-up work will be given.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date assigned.
I understand that job interviews are important and I do not object to absences for interviews. However, it is important that students do not plan activities that conflict with examination or presentation dates. As an upper division student, you are expected to be responsible for your own schedule. Office hours are readily available. If you cannot be available during my normal office hours and you need to see me, please see me for an appointment.
