You need to analyze the author s point and discuss anything that the author leaves unresolved. The paper is due prior to the date that the reading is assigned on the syllabus. DO NOT hand in a paper based on a reading that we have already discussed in class. The second paper is due November 23rd and a specific assignment will be handed out a week before it is due. This paper is based on the reading assignment by Rosenstone and Hansen due on that date.
Papers are to be handed in at the beginning of class on the due date.
Students will be penalized by one-third of a grade for each day that the paper is late. If for any reason you must miss an exam, you must receive permission from the instructor prior to the exam. Makeup exams are only given at the discretion of the instructor. A sample exam is attached at the end of the syllabus. Class participation is very important.
