The quality of your participation in discussions and your performance as a discussion leader will be reflected in your grade. If you need to get in touch with me and I am not in my office, please use electronic mail. The course Web site will be updated regularly to contain information of importance to the class. This will include copies of handouts, copies of slides, and the course's working schedule. You should check it regularly.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Final course grades are based on the overall average. Class paper presentations center around a brief review of the paper and subsequent presentation of issues to start off discussion. You should assume that the class has read the paper. Specification of the term project is flexible. It may be either a group or an individual project, with the expected scope corresponding to the number of students involved.
