I look forward to working with you to make this course a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. Participation in class discussion is very important. Please make sure you have read assigned materials before class. I do call on people to participate sometimes. Our simulation exercise in October also will count as class participation.
Regular attendance is required.
Attendance may be figured into any class participation grade. Please keep up with international news that seems relevant to our course work. I may ask you to read specific articles or publications on occasion. You are responsible for being aware of any communications from me, be they class announcements, class handouts, bulletin board postings or e-mail. The mid-November examination and the December essay will be weighted equally to establish your base grade.
