Papers will be due at the beginning of class, and no late papers will be accepted. The second exam will not be cumulative. Grades for all assignments will be based primarily on the signs you show of having given serious thought to the readings. In calculating your final course grade I will give credit for improved performance. Feel free to consult me about how you are doing.
Attendance is required at all class meetings.
Students who miss more than two class meetings for unacceptable reasons will be dropped from the course. I will advise you and your mentor if and when your next absence will have this result. Students who are egregiously or habitually late to class, or who come to class unprepared, will be counted as absent. Incompletes will be assigned only in cases of documentable emergency. By enrolling in the course, you agree to inform yourself of these policies and to abide by them.
