There will be several full group meetings of both sections during the semester on designated days for lectures, as specified in the syllabus. There will be brief quizzes on the readings periodically during the semester, always on Fridays, as stated on the syllabus. There will also be occasional in-class writing assignments. Any changes in the syllabus will appear in the online syllabus, accessible from Prof. Dameron's web page. There will be a midterm exam and a final.
Attendance is mandatory.
Instructors will evaluate the student on the basis of attendance, degree of involvement in discussions, level of familiarity with the readings, and overall amount of effort brought to the course. Please arrange all travel arrangements so that they do not conflict with scheduled classes and the exam in December. There will be several brief, short-answer quizzes on Fridays focused on the assigned readings. The professor will drop the lowest quiz score in the determination of the overall quiz grade. There will be no make-up quizzes except for verifiable medical reasons.
