Classes consist of lecture as well as substantive dialogue on psychology of religion concepts.
The most important thing that you can do to contribute to the class discussion is to read the material before class, and come to class prepared with questions. Your regular attendance and willingness to contribute to the overall classroom process are assumed. I certainly don't expect you to be Ph.D. level psychologists of religion, but the entire point of the class is to sharpen your skills and take you further than you've been before. Students are expected to attend class. Any student who is absent, even for a legitimate cause, is responsible for the material covered and assignments given during the class that is missed.
