The following rules will operate in this course. They apply to both the instructor and TA and to all students taking POS 359 for credit. In this sense this syllabus is like a contract binding on all of us. Be prepared to lecture on the assigned topics and to facilitate scheduled class discussions. Mark, comment upon, and promptly return all student assignments.
Late arrivals disturb other students and the flow of lectures and class discussions.
If you leave early without the instructor s prior permission, you will be marked absent for that class session. If you have questions regarding what represents academic dishonesty, please discuss them with your instructor or TA or obtain a copy of the Department s Policy on Academic Dishonesty which you can get by visiting Room 407 Social Science during normal office hours. As the instructor in this course, I hope you will develop a life-long interest in Africa and its peoples. The media in Arizona does not report much about Africa, so other sources must be used. Fortunately, the Internet has many sources dealing with Africa, bookmark them when you fine a useful source.
