Your paper is due on May 6. This is very important if the class is going to be effective. Students will be expected to participate in every class. This means asking questions, responding to questions, offering opinions and insights, helping out the co-teachers. In order to do this effectively, you must have done the readings and thought about them.
Regular attendance is also important.
Students are expected to arrive on time and stay until the end of class unless exceptional circumstances arise. This will all be reflected in the grade for this part of the course. If everyone keeps up with the work, there will be no final exam. If this were to happen, the other assignments will be proportionately adjusted.
