Students are expected to read all assignments, attend every lecture, take notes, participate in discussions, and secure all handouts. Students who expect to miss more than three meetings should meet with the instructor during the first week. In case of an emergency causing a student to miss more than two consecutive meetings through absence from campus, the student should notify the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences who will notify all the instructors. Evaluation will be on the basis of written work, oral work, and participation in class discussions. The written work will include a mid-term exam, the keeping of a notebook, and two short papers.
