For full credit, you must submit preliminary work including a topic proposal, a bibliography, and a rough draft. You are also required to present to the class a 15-20 minute report on your project at which point you will submit your rough draft. These presentations will be scheduled throughout the month of April. Final drafts are due in class on the last day of the semester. Graduate students are also expected to complete a research project, but may substitute a historiographical essay.
Attendance is required.
You are allowed to miss 3 days with no penalty. You may request an additional excused absence by scheduling an appointment with me prior to the day you plan to be absent and offering a compelling excuse backed by written documentation. I reserve the right to deny additional excused absences. Attendance is taken every day at the beginning of class. If you are late for class, it is your responsibility to talk to me immediately after class to make sure you receive credit for attendance that day.
