A major project is also required and counts for 100 points. Additional credit may be earned through appropriate class participation.
Individuals are rank ordered and grades are assigned by ranking.
No make-up exams will be offered because there are ample opportunities to earn points. To accomplish this, you are to read a popular book, see a movie or watch a TV series that focuses on a mental health illness issue and compare it to research in the text and in current research journals. At least seven articles from journals must be used in your paper. The length of the paper should be between 8 and 10 pages. If a second offense is committed, you will again be given a '0', probably causing you to fail the course.
