There are 12 journal assignments. The best TEN of these assignments will count toward your final grade. Feel free to bring up points that you find especially interesting to discuss. Questions are always welcome. If you see something outside of class that you think relates to our discussion feel free to bring it up.
Disagreement is fine as long as it is done respectfully.
Our differences are what will make the discussion interesting. Participation will be considered as one of your extra credits that worth 10 points toward your final grade. Active participation makes sure you receive your total 10 points. Excessive absences, lack of participation, and things like tardiness and sleeping in class will cost you points. You should draw upon your readings, the lectures, and class discussions to answer these questions.
