Some of the readings will be discussed in class, but others will be used only as points of departure for class discussions and lectures. Of course, attendance is mandatory or a professional courtesy call if you must miss a class. The expectations for class participation follow from the above advice. Having read the assigned material with a careful and critical eye, I expect you to come to class with questions and comments. This is expected to be a professional and collegial environment, both in class and on-line.
All assignments are due at the beginning of the class on the date the assignment is due.
It is unfair to others in the class if you have more time in which to complete assignments. Therefore, each timely, completed assignment is eligible for consideration for full credit. Late work will be down-graded by one grade for each day it is late . I will consider making exceptions to this policy, but only if an exception is requested in advance. However, any work submitted for a grade should be the original work of the author.
