There will be unannounced group discussions on readings. Ground Rules Students with disabilities must alert the instructor at the beginning of the semester. Attendance is mandatory and is built into the final grade. Makeup exams will be given only with valid written excuse and will not be scheduled until a few weeks after the original test. Make ups tend to be more difficult.
Papers are due on time.
Late papers will be dropped one grade level for each class late. The research project includes a mandatory oral report. Students who do not give an oral report will have 5 points deducted from their grade. Papers are to be neat, spell-checked, stapled and have a white cover page which gives the student's name no plastic covers. The classroom atmosphere is relaxed but, rudeness, swearing and drifting in and out of class at your leisure will not be tolerated.
