The contribution of each of these measures to your final grade is described below. Additional graded assignments may be added as indicated. Due dates are included in the course calendar. Written analyses of the assigned readings will be required weekly. Seven of the 14 assignments will be collected randomly.
Analyses are due on the first day of the section.
Analyses should be a minimum and a maximum of one page type written, single spaced, in 12 point Times New Roman font, with one inch margins. Missed assignments cannot be made up. The purpose of the assignment is to produce a critical analysis of the information presented, to raise issues, to discuss implications, and to identify problems with the position. Written analyses will form the basis for in-class discussion. In addition, the effectiveness of your writing will be evaluated.
