Undergraduates are encouraged to challenge graduate students in class discussions. Graduate students are expected to set a lively tone for discussion. Everyone is expected to do the reading and form an opinion. Graduate students will in addition to the other requirements for the class submit notes on directed reading in the secondary literature relating to classical rhetoric. The term paper for graduate students should be of suitable quality for submission to a professional conference.
