Your attendance is essential to the success of this class. More than one unexcused absence will result in a lowered grade-a full letter for each day missed. Come to class on time every day and prepared to talk about the reading. Do all of the reading. I won't penalize you if you are shy and unwilling to talk, but I certainly will reward active participation.
Deadlines are real.
Papers are due at the beginning of class on the days noted in this syllabus. Late work will be graded down. A full letter for every day late. No one passes this class without completing all of the assigned work. The Honor Code applies.
