Some class periods will be used for research or for appointments with the instructor. See Assignments for more detail. You are responsible for instruction, activity, work due, etc., on days missed. Assignments are due on the date specified in the Schedule. No late assignments will be accepted without prior arrangement, except for unavoidable circumstances.
Participation is required, in two dimensions.
The first is academic citizenship, or being on time for class, joining in class discussion, collaborating on shared tasks, constructively criticizing working drafts. The second is passion, or engagement, or making your work meaningful for yourself and for others.
