Direct quotes must be placed in quotes. Journal entries may not be taken verbatim from the text. All journals must be typed on a computer or word processor so that they may be revised. The journal will be submitted twice during the semester. On both occasions it will be graded.
Journals are due at the beginning of class on the assigned day.
There will be no exceptions to this rule. With the first journal submission students should submit a proposed topic for approval. Thus, summarizing in your journal multiple stories on the same topic would be prudent. The essay should be approximately 5 pages, double spaced with normal margins and type size. As with the six assigned cases, the topic chosen for the essay should involve a decision or dilemma for a specific politician or government in Eurasia.
