Any students with disabilities who need accommodation in this course are encouraged to speak with me as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements for these accommodations. All assignments, except those designated by me, need to be typed, double-spaced, and generally clear of typographical , grammatical, and syntactical errors. In the essays written for this course, understanding of APA reference guidelines is necessary. All written assignments of more than one typed page also require a staple. No plastic folders are needed.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense.
In groups of 4 or 5, students will present an assigned reading. Each presentation should last between 5 and 10 minutes, and should include an outline of the presentation to be distributed to all class members. Each student is required to write two essays during the semester that illustrate an understanding of the concepts discussed in class. These essays require no outside research, rather, they are to demonstrate critical insight and understanding of course material. More information on these essays will be provided, but suffice it to say, that each essay ranges in length from 5-8 pages.
