Most classes will be a mixture of discussion and some lecture. Even on these days, you should keep me honest by questioning a nd criticizing my sweeping generalizations. This is your class, not mine. This grade will be based largely on the quality of your participation in class. Quality, not qu antity is what I'm looking for.
Attendance is mandatory.
If you miss more than four classes, you can expect no higher than a C discussion grade. Due September 8. Clear, grammatical prose is an important part of this assignment. You won't need to talk to me if you want an extension. These terms will come directly from the readings and will likely not have been discussed in class.
