Essays will be graded according to your ability to define and substantiate your opinion. These writings will cumulatively be worth twenty-five percent of your final course grade. Each exam will include both objective and subjective questions. Emphasis will be given to subjective questions. The final exam will not be comprehensive in reference to specific, detailed information, but it will be comprehensive in reference to general, basic information.
Every student is responsible for all material covered in class when absent.
Late essays or other assignments will be accepted up to two days past the due date but will be counted off one letter grade for each day. After the two-day grace period assignments will not be accepted with the exception of excused absences.
