There will be no exams in this class. However, for all sets of readings, there will be a directed response paper of at least 500 words due on the day we discuss the readings. Your grade in the course will be based on whether or not you complete the assignments thoughtfully and come to class. If you do this, you will do well. I expect you to be on time with all, or nearly all, assignments and to attend all, or nearly all, classes.
All assignments are due at class time.
If two class periods go by with no paper, that's an F for that assignment. The final project counts for approximately one-fourth of your grade. I will not accept the final project late unless you have documented proof of an emergency that has prevented you from turning it in. It is due at class time on the last day of class. The work flow in this class will be pretty steady.
