Involvement in actual assessments throughout the semester. Opportunities to do real evaluations will arise throughout the semester and the year. My advice is to take every opportunity that you can. The more you do, the better you will be. Attendance and class participation.
Attendance is mandatory.
There is so much material to cover, and so much discussion that must take place, that missing any class can be problematic. Although students are able to do the readings outside of class, missing discussions and lectures seriously hinder full understanding of the course content. Students are expected to do all readings and be prepared to discuss each reading in class. Pairs of students will be assigned reading for which they are primarily responsible. Each student must bring to class two written questions generated from the reading of each article.
