Let me know immediately if this is not the case. I will use e-mail to send information and ideas your way, and I will post plenty of material on this web site. This is a cooperative discussion class, which relies on the attendance and active contribution of its members to succeed. I will require that you let me know in advance of any absences. An excused absence will be any legitimate absence which I know of ahead of time.
Punctuality is also important.
Please be on time for class. You will write two five-page papers in this class. Both of your papers must be typed, without exception. You will each write a two to three page summary of research done on a subject of historical or social relevance to the readings. These writings will be less structured than the papers, and will normally fill a full page.
