Students are expected to attend class and are responsible for any announcements or assignments made during class. However class participation will be graded only as part of specific activities described below. The first is occasional workshops as group activities in class. These short research topics will not involve more than 15 minutes of preparation but you should hand in a copy of the information from the Internet or other printed or xeroxed material as appropriate. Assignments will usually be made in one class for the next class period with students selected more or less in alphabetical order from the class roster, so you may be assigned a topic even if you are not present.
