The topic is flexible but should focus on an important issue or question or problem that emerges from our readings and discussions in the course. Also, your participation in the online discussions will not be graded as a separate assignment but will be taken into account when I calculate final averages for the course grades. Standard Disclaimers It should be obvious that attendance in a course such as this is essential. If you miss more than one class during the semester without prior approval, your grade may be adversely affected. Missing more than two classes may result in a failing grade.
Plagiarism is unequivocally unacceptable.
Please familiarize yourself with the University policies on plagiarism. If you plagiarize in this course, you may fail the course and be subject to University disciplinary procedures. If you have any problems or concerns about the course during the semester, please see me so that we can talk about them. Back to top of page . Back to Main Page .
