All readings are due on the date listed on the course calendar. There may be 1 or more unannounced quizzes. Students who arrive to class after roll call will be marked absent. Students who are absent or late for more than 5 classes will automatically fail the course. In addition to a number of short assignments, two take-home tests, a 5 page paper, and 20 minute oral report detailing a topic related to our study are required.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date due, unless otherwise specified.
The take-home midterm and final examinations, composed of short and long essay questions, are not cumulative. Avoid copying text from your books, and do not copy anything from your textbooks without citing it. Students who submit work purchased or copied from others or who fail to cite or acknowledge other people's ideas are subject to university penalties for academic dishonesty, including, but not limited to, a grade of F for the course. Do not begin or end a paragraph with a quotation. Avoid passive voice.
