Class meetings will focus on the reading and discussion of the assigned texts. The course will also require some writing about the texts under discussion. Any changes in the syllabus will appear in the online syllabus, accessible from Prof. Dameron's web page. There will be a midterm exam and a final.
Attendance is mandatory.
Instructors will evaluate the student on the basis of attendance, degree of involvement in discussions, level of familiarity with the readings, prompt submission of written assignments, and overall amount of effort brought to the course. Please arrange all travel arrangements so that they do not conflict with scheduled classes and the exam in December. There will be no late submission of focus papers except for medical reasons. This hourly will consist of short answer questions and an essay. Students will write on a topic of their choosing associated with the readings.
