The best way to prepare for the exams is to read the textbook chapters and answer the discussion questions carefully, attend class regularly, participate in class discussions and exercises, and spend time out of class thinking about how the course material relates to events that happen to you every day. These will typically include short-answer essay questions that will serve as the basis for class discussions and a short article which you will be asked to read and answer questions about. Other assignments might include mini-projects, reactions to an article, or worksheets. All work that is handed in MUST be typed. Handwritten work will not be accepted.
All work is due on the date assigned.
Late assignments will not be accepted, regardless of your reasons for being late. All students are expected to participate in all aspects of the course. Students are also expected to attend all of the classes. Any student who misses more than 5 classes will be dropped from the course. Attendance will be recorded in the first ten minutes of class.
