Rather than assuming a one dimensional definition of themselves, racially mixed peoples are voicing the demand to be seen in all aspects of their heritage. Class discussion and participation are integral aspects of this course and will be counted as a percentage of your grade. Our discussions will cover a broad range of topics, such as films, literature, guest presentations, and assigned readings. The final project will be discussed more fully during the class. The project must be approved by the professor.
All material is due by the dates listed on the syllabus.
All assignments must be typed, neatly presented, and edited for errors and misspellings. Absences must be documented medical illness or family emergencies. Any late papers or assignments will be downgraded half a grade each day. No make-up examinations without prior arrangements will be given. Final papers or projects by FAX or email will not be considered.
