The second will be accompanied by a brief presentation to the class and will be due in April. Please refer to Chapter 1, Part 5 of the Student Handbook. You will need a small spiral notebook for maintaining your journal. On a weekly basis, record your reactions to lecture, readings, discussion, etc. It will be collected sporadically for grading so please bring it to class each week.
Active participation is crucial for success in the class.
Please take the assignments seriously and come to class ready to respond to them. Quizzes , announced ahead of time or not, will pop up from time to time and are counted as part of this grade. Your regular attendance at section is vital, too. Absences disturb the continuity of the class, both for you and the class as a whole. More than one unexcused absence will adversely affect your grade.
