If you are going to leave town, do your microthemes in advance and email them to me. These are essay tests for which I will ask you two questions that will require you to apply class materials to policy problems. A 3-5 page proposal is due in class on March 6. Each day the proposal is late reduces the research paper grade by five percent. The usual prohibitions against plagiarism apply.
Incomplete grades are available only under the most unusual circumstances.
Four books are required. All other sources are available as text on the internet.
