Each exam will consist of three or four essay questions. Students will be responsible for answering two of the questions. Students responses are expected to incorporate material from the required readings and from class discussions. Responses should be two to three pages in length per question. This course will follow a graduate seminar-type format.
Participation is crucial for critical analysis of issues, concepts, research, etc.
It is necessary that you not only read all required assignments prior to the class meetings, but that you actively participate in and stimulate class discussion. The quality and quantity of your participation will be assessed. Because participation is crucial to this class, class attendance is mandatory. Students who miss class should notify the professor prior to the day that they will be absent. Exam grades and final grades will be assigned by strictly following the procedures and cutoffs outlined above.
