Additionally, there will be various articles and handouts given out with weekly chapter assignments. The class will be conducted utilizing lectures, discussions, class activities, videotapes and guest speakers. Guest speakers, representing various diverse communities within Minnesota, will provide personal insights into their respective communities. Class activities will be geared to address a variety of learning styles. Students are expected to be prepared to discuss assigned readings, take part in small group activities and role plays during class, and are encouraged to express their opinions and ideas.
Attendance is required and tardiness is discouraged.
Both will have a negative impact on your grade and result in a loss of points. Leaving prior to the end of class without notifying the instructor will also negatively impact students participation points. Please notify the instructor ahead of time if you will not be attending class. Each student will be allowed excused absences for 2 classes or a total of 6 hours of class. More than this will result in loss of points.
