Throughout the semester, you will accumulate points for each assignment. The maximum number of points available is 100. You are advised to keep careful track of the various deadlines that pertain to your work. At the end of the semester, I will determine the highest points earned over the course of the semester. I do give plus and minus grades.
Attendance is mandatory and active participation is required. .
In a seminar class, everyone shares the responsibility for teaching everyone else. Therefore, I require your attendance and your participation at every class session and will make note of both each week. Your absence will be excused only if you provide a doctor's note or a judge's subpoena at the next class session. If you truly feel that you are not up to the task, then I suggest that you not take this course. My expectations of you are very high.
