I expect that you will critically read all the assignments and be prepared to discuss them. 75 minutes of lecture can become interminably boring for both the instructor and the student. I expect you to bring your readings to class as well. If you do not have your materials, you are not able to participate and will receive an absent mark for the day. I expect that you will turn in all writing assignments on time.
Essays are to be typed and preferably word processed.
Again, should anything dreadful arise, please plead your case before the due date. Papers will be graded on content, stylistics, clarity, and grammar. I expect that you will respect the ideas of others in our class discussions. I want to create a forum where no one will be afraid to express and explain their opinions, and I will not tolerate any intimidation or ridicule. Failing to do either of these things is considered plagiarism.
