Addison Wesley Longman. Fenno, Richard. 1978. Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process. Congressional Quarterly Press. All students will be expected to complete two exams and three written simulation assignments, and to participate actively in all class activities, including exit polling for the November general election, on November 7.
Papers are due during class time on the due date, unless otherwise specified in the assignment.
Late papers will be accepted, but will lose one full letter grade for every day that they are late. Approximately 15 percent of the final course grade is based on class participation. Because you can not participate if you are not in class, students are expected to attend all regular class meetings. Students that miss more than three class meetings without first obtaining prior approval, or without a note from a physician or a college dean verifying an illness or other emergency, will lose all 15 percentage points. Students who miss more two or more regularly-scheduled simulation activities will likewise lose all class participation points.
