I reserve the right to call upon students. Beyond five, absences must be excused or they will count against your final grade. In this class, participation includes participation in group exercises. By taking this class, you agree to work in assigned groups for certain classroom discussions and homework assignments. You also agree to help evaluate the participation of members of your group.
Participation requires preparation.
You should complete assigned readings before class. If you have questions about the readings, you should write them down and ask me to explain during class. You should take notes on the readings and on class lectures. I reserve the right to give unannounced quizzes to test whether students are doing the readings and to include these quizzes as part of the final grade. In this class, some assignments will be individual, and some will be group.
