Culturegrams , available at the Dragas Center, are a good source of information, as well as books from Intercultural Press. Regular attendance is required because much of the learning in this class is experiential rather than academic. Familiarity with the assigned readings, contribution to class discussions, editing the class web page, having work accepted for the web publication, and the sharing of class resources will all help raise the participation grade. There may be one or two pop quizzes. The two exams will contain both essay and objective questions.
Plagiarism is easy in the electronic age, but it is now easier to catch as well.
When you use another person's ideas, give a source and page numbers even when you reword the idea. When you use another person's exact words, be sure to use quotation marks, source, and page numbers. Late work and make-up exams are possible if done within one week in the case of illness or emergency. However, any work handed in late will be graded only if and when I have time. No late work will be accepted after April 24.
