The exams are intended to both assess each student's ability to master the course content, and to express it in a reasonable and articulate way. There will be no final examination. All students are required to convene in small groups and deliver a presentation to the class at the end of the term. A two-page outline of the competing positions must be completed by each group and submitted to the instructor before the scheduled presentation. More details on this exercise will follow.
All students are at liberty to perform additional work for extra credit .
Any disagreements students have about grading are open to negotiation. Grades may be changed provided an adequate case is made that the instructor was negligent.
