In the second week of class you will be asked to inform me of the country you have chosen. You should read articles in periodicals such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, etc. You should read about one article a week. There may be a question on the politics of this country in your midterm and final exams. If any country covered in this course becomes particularly prominent in the news, you should be aware of the issues involved.
Assignments are daily.
You should bring to class a paper between half and full paged typed to questions posed. Put your name and the date at the top of each page along with the question answered and hand it in at the end of the class. Late papers receive only one-third credit. The final date for turning in late papers is the last day of class. 13 Introductory class.
