I will provide questions to focus our discussion and have different class members prepare responses to start discussions off. Homework assignments will also be due at the beginning of class on the dates listed in the schedule below. Attendance is mandatory. You are allowed three absences during the semester, however. Thereafter each absence reduces your grade by two percentage points.
Late arrivals count as half absences.
Participation and class presentations are required, and will be graded. Two in-class tests. Read Pinker, ch. Read Pinker, ch.
