An outline or abstract of the presentation should be given to each seminar participant, as well as any other handouts that can be used to augment the presentation. Attendance and relevant participation in class are expected. Since this is an advanced seminar, more will be expected from each individual.
Participation includes both attendance and informed discussion .
Points will be allocated during each class session. Attendance during the final group presentations will be weighed more heavily. There will be two examinations in this class. The midterm will be given in class. Students should bring blue books or a sufficient amount of paper and paper clips or staples.
