Course activity will involve oral presentations to the class of politics in selected countries. Reports should be given from notes rather than read, and other members of the class will enter into lively questioning and discussion in order to assure maximum benefits for all students in the class. Your paper should be typewritten and double-spaced. These papers will form the basis of students' class presentations. Sources must be footnoted, and a bibliography must be provided.
Papers are due on or before the day of presentation.
There will be one mid-semester examinations and a final. A student must have prior permission to miss an exam in order to be eligible for a make-up exam. Students are responsible for lecture material and the assigned readings. It is virtually impossible to pass the course without regular class attendance. After that you will get a notification warning you of the danger if you miss more classes.
