Remember, learning about others should teach you about yourself. Regular attendance is expected, and roll is taken. Lack of attendance will adversely affect your grade. If you have a problem affecting your course participation, or must miss class, let me know. There will be lots of discussion, and questions are welcome.
All topics are open, but civil and respectful discourse is required.
Bring books to class for reference. There will be three exams, equal in value, which include both identification and essay questions. They will cover material from lectures and readings, and are intended to bring out both academic information and personal reactions to what you are learning. The third exam is during finals. You must bring bluebooks to me before each test date.
