Beginning in week 3, two students will be responsible for making a presentation and leading a discussion on the main reading for the week. Each of these exams will consist of essay questions that require you to synthesize material from several learning units. I will hand out the essay questions for each exam approximately 10 days before the deadline. Typically I ask students to answer two questions for each exam and to write approximately 3 typed pages on each question. Essays will be evaluated on content, organization, and style.
Attendance is mandatory.
Late papers, projects, or exams will be docked one grade for every class period they are late unless you talk to me before the assignment is due and can document a real emergency. I will not accept assignments more than one week after they are due. No incompletes will be given unless you have passed the first half of the course and can document an illness or family crisis that would preclude you from successfully completing the class. Work submitted for other classes is unacceptable in this class. All assignments must be your original work this semester.
