The course objectives will be achieved through five methods. Lecture material will parallel your reading in the text. However, most lectures are designed to include additional sources. I will not recycle the material in the chapter. It is therefore imperative that each student attend class.
All relevant input is encouraged and is subject to examination.
The required writing component in this course is an 8 page research paper. The topic you decide to write on must be approved. The paper is due Wednesday, April 25. All papers may be picked up the following semester upon request. The times of the exams will fall approximately on the 6th and 11th week.
