Graduate students are also expected to complete a research project, but may substitute a historiographical essay. Attendance is required. You are allowed to miss 3 days with no penalty. You may request an additional excused absence by scheduling an appointment with me prior to the day you plan to be absent and offering a compelling excuse backed by written documentation. I reserve the right to deny additional excused absences.
Attendance is taken every day at the beginning of class.
If you are late for class, it is your responsibility to talk to me immediately after class to make sure you receive credit for attendance that day. Participation will be evaluated based on the frequency and quality of your participation in class. You are required to submit your class notebook at the beginning of the period on the date indicated in the syllabus. See courseinfo site for more detailed instructions. If you are caught in any sort of academic dishonesty, you suffer all due penalties.
