Additionally, you will all participate in a Community Action Learning project, the details of which I will announce in class. The goal of this project is to involve you in hands-on work outside of the classroom and link what you learn through your CALS project to the various class themes. We will also have biweekly computer labs to familiarize ourselves with some of the technology and resources available to us as members of the University community. Specific due dates for writing assignments are noted on the syllabus. Five points will be deducted for each day a paper is late, three points for each day a draft is late.
Papers are due at the beginning of a class session.
I will distribute specifics for each writing assignment in class. These are short, ten minute pieces to get discussion started and to focus on particular aspects of the readings that struck you. I will often ask you to share these in class. Students are expected to attend all classes as a responsibility to themselves and their classmates. Beyond that, your final grade will be lowered thee points for each additional absence.
