Exams will be taken from readings, films, and lectures, and will most likely be a combination of both objective and subjective questions. The student will assess the works in historical perspective. In any event student participation is encouraged. An exception to the rule of participation will apply if any one or a small number of students begins, for whatever reason, to monopolize student response. An additional exception to the rule of participation will apply if the expression of dissenting or differing opinions becomes disruptive or anything but diplomatic and well-meaning.
Attendance is required.
Five absences will be tolerated without penalty. Those five absences include both legitimate as well as not so legitimate excuses. Legitimate excuses are illnesses, yours or your family's, deaths in the family, etc. Doctor's excuses, notes from coaches, etc. are not necessary. For policies regarding withdrawal, please refer to the VSU annual bulletin for university policy.
