The purpose of these would be to either facilitate discussion, or to assist in the writing process of one of the papers. These will not be collected or graded. Participation and Attendance Attendance is mandatory and is expected. If you must miss a class, please inform me beforehand. Frequent unexcused absences may lower the final class grade.
Participation is also mandatory.
I will not lecture for 50 minutes each class period. Students are expected to contribute to each class period. If no one is volunteering, or only a couple of students are dominating discussion, I will call on people by name.
