Violation of this policy can result in severe sanctions as great as termination from the University. Proper citations must be provided when borrowing ideas or language in written work. Students will write four short pieces in which they discuss an outside enrichment activity or reading. One paper is due in February and another in March. All written work must be submitted by the end of April.
Students are responsible for full participation in the class.
This includes making thoughtful contributions to class discussions. Additionally, some class time will be dedicated to group activity and plenary reports of that activity. The readings in this syllabus represent a framework, the bare minimum of required readings. Students are expected to identify, digest, and present issues and ideas from outside reading. There are any number of themes that we might use as lenses to bring some aspect of our study into sharper focus.
