Typically, for an assignment, you will be asked to give a one-page review for each of five articles. Written assignments are due at the beginning of class on the given date. They will be graded for content and grammar. Late assignments will be accepted for two weeks after the due date. If you cannot attend a class, you should email or fax any assignments due on that day.
Participation is a combination of contributions in class and attendance.
Student comments often add valuable content and interest and are highly encouraged. Attendance is counted as a portion of participation. You are responsible for all assignments and absence from class is not an excuse for not turning in an assignment. Every three absences will result in a full grade reduction in the final grade. Participation will be noted regularly and points will be awarded at the end of the term.
