Work handed in is to be your own. Group Quizzes will be given covering material from in-class group assignments and the reading. If the individual is not present the group grade will be zero. Withdrawals from the class will be granted through Tuesday, October 27. After that date you are committed - please don't ask me for special treatment because of courseloads, etc.

First, they cause you to critically examine the major points made in the associated readings and lecture. Third, you will actually be presenting your papers on a regular basis, but with little advance preparation. Finally, you will be providing immediate, but somewhat formal critiques of the presentations made by others. Again, this mimics the attention given to work by others in real life.
