For the Class Discussion grade, students will be evaluated on the basis of quality and quantity of interaction in class discussion. Each student is expected to come to class fully prepared to discuss the readings assigned for that day. Class discussion is not a grade for class attendance, although one generally cannot discuss without attending class. All students in the course are expected to have e-mail accounts to communicate with each other and with the instructor. These accounts are free of charge and relatively simple to operate, in addition to giving students experience in modern electronic communications.
Assistance is available in setting up an account, beginning to use e-mail, and accessing newsgroups.
