Because this course is to be conducted in seminar fashion to elicit the free exchange of ideas, it is imperative that students be present at each class session and prepared to engage in discussion. Unless a valid reason can be given, late papers will be docked one-half letter grade for each day that they are late. The presentation must be given on the scheduled day, or not at all. Oxford Comm .
