There is also set of readings to be purchased from University Reader Printing Service, which will be sending representatives to class at the beginning of the quarter. The reader contains all readings listed in this syllabus aside from Lijphart s book. All students are expected to come to each session having read and studied that day's assigned reading. The written case will be based on a reading on economic reform in New Zealand that is included in your reader. The questions are also in your reader, and will ask you to apply concepts learned so far in this course to the case.
Further guidelines appear in the reader.
The midterm will be given during a regular class period. The final will be given during finals week on a date to be announced. Acceptable excuses include illness, which must be documented by the University health service or your physician, or a death in the immediate family. It is very important that all students understand that no other excuses will be accepted aside from those recognized by standing University policy. Appropriate accommodations will be made for students with documented disabilities, consistent with University policies.
