Students should bring blue books or a sufficient amount of paper, and paper clips or staples. Both exams will consist of essays that will be evaluated on the student's ability to synthesize, analyze and evaluate the information rather than merely regurgitate concepts. Students are expected to demonstrate some knowledge of the material found in texts, other assigned readings, lectures, and class discussions. Some classes will be primarily lecture, while others will include exercises, small group discussions and other activities. All participants are expected to be prepared and fully participate in each class.
Participation includes both attendance and informed discussion .
At the end of the semester, the only condition on which an incomplete will be given as a final grade will be as the consequence of a serious illness of either the student, an immediate family member, or there is a documented work or family emergency. Any student who believes they are disabled under the criteria of the Americans With Disabilities Act are encouraged to contact the instructor to determine whether any special arrangements should be made to assist with the course content and course requirements during the semester.
