All students are required to keep up with the daily readings and to be prepared to discuss them in class. Each student will be required to do two class presentations on one or more of the day s readings. The final papers should be approximately 25-30 pages in length, and should focus critically on some application of social capital. Drafts of the papers will be due by Thanksgiving and the final two classes will be spent discussing them. There will be a short final exam consisting of short-answer questions, designed primarily to test whether students have read and absorbed the readings.
Office hours are by appointment.
