If you choose to use internet sources, be sure to verify the accuracy of the source. No late essays will be accepted since we will be discussing the material as a class the day the essay is due. Suggestions for preparing and leading discussions are available in a handout I will distribute. I encourage creativity and innovation in preparing these exercises, including but not limited to debates, role plays, and breaking the class into small groups for a portion of the period. Class participation includes performance on short written assignments done in class.
Attendance is obligatory.
After two unexcused absences, final grades will be lowered by one percentage point for each subsequent absence.
