You will also need to access the packet for the Pornography and Ms. Magazine readings. We will strive to establish strategies that will foster respect for self and one another. Discussion is central to our course. Therefore, when one person has the floor, others must be quiet and not engage in private conversations. You might disagree with another person, but respectful acknowledgement of his or her opinion and experience is important in creating an atmosphere where everyone feels free to speak.
Analysis is vital to our work.
We must all analyze the materials of course, but also our own assumptions, prejudices and politics. Arrival on time acknowledges the respect we all deserve. Late arrivals will count as absences. You must attend class or you will be lost. If, for some unavoidable reason, you know you must miss a class, you are responsible for all missed work including readings and handouts.
