Also, bring your relevant reading materials to class each day. Lectures will provide additional and clarifying information to supplement the reading assignments. I expect students to be at the academic level where they can participate in class in a meaningful way. Thus, lectures are intended as dialogues between professor and students that clarify and enhance understanding of the subject matter. Therefore, rather than showing up blank-faced and unprepared, all students must come to class having a grasp of the day s readings and be prepared to ask and answer analytical questions about them.
Group exercises pertaining to the day s subject matter.
These exercises are not graded in any way . They do, however, involve applying the skills you learn from this course to specific problems in a committee type of forum, and provide excellent preparation for exams. All assignments are to be typed, double-spaced, approximately 1 inch margins, use size 12 font and be stapled. More detailed instructions will be given later. No re-writes for writing assignments are permitted.
