Discussion leaders should be prepared to present a summary of the readings, provide critical comments, and suggest relevant issues that need to be discussed. Students should hand in a note with their name and the title of the book they have chosen to review by September 9. Students who have not chosen a book by this date will be assigned a book to review. Let me know what your interests are and I can assist you to find an appropriate book. This is a small discussion oriented class.
Regular attendance is required.
If you anticipate schedule conflicts due to other classes, work, athletic events or other activities, you are advised not to take this class because irregular attendance will negatively impact your grade. If you are planning to miss class due to a religious holiday you must notify me prior to the day in question. Students who skip class frequently can expect to have their grade lowered by at least one grade point. Projects may be based on field research or on library research. Please feel free to consult me on every aspect of this assignment.
