A good tool would be to keep a semester portfolio that contains everything you turn in and handouts received. All work is required on the due date at the beginning of the class hour or it will be considered late. There may still be a penalty of at least 10 points for any work accepted late. Do not bring papers by at the end of the semester in hopes of getting changes at that time. Absolutely no class time will be spent on individual grading questions.
Grades are a private matter.
Please see me during office hours for grading concerns. This syllabus is subject to change. Guest speakers, extended discussions, new ideas, etc. may alter time frame. Changes will be announced in class. Be prepared to discuss assigned readings in class every day.
