If you choose to participate in the model UN, your grade will be based on documents you produce in preparation for your participation, assessments I make of your participation during the conference, and a 5 page debriefing paper you will turn in on Tuesday, December 5. The College will cover the expenses of this trip. If you choose to write the research paper, you need to see me as soon as possible to discuss possible paper topics. Your grade will be based on an annotated bibliography, a research proposal, and the final paper due on December 5. The final exam will include short answer and essay questions.
All material covered in the semester is eligible for inclusion on the final exam.
Each class period is worth 10 points. You will earn participation points by your active oral participation. The only exceptions will be for College excused absences or serious and verifiable personal difficulties. If I deem an absence to be excused, I will give you a short oral quiz to grade your participation for that day. Any assignment turned in after class on the day it is due is one day late.
