The purpose of the portfolio is not to summarize the readings. Rather, you should analyze one or two ideas that are most interesting to you, discussing what the readings or ideas presented in the articles have to say about gender. You should set aside a notebook for the purpose of these responses, and bring it to class. These notebooks will be collected at random. In-class group or individual assignments will also become part of your notebooks.
Participation is always encouraged and attendance is required.
After three absences, excused or unexcused, your final grade will be reduced by .35 for each subsequent absence. Peter Paret, et al., Persuasive Images, pp.
