There will be two examinations, a midterm and a final. Both will consist of a first section devoted to identifications about which the students will write a brief paragraph. The second portion will be devoted to one or more essay questions. These papers are to be entirely based on particular reading assignments in the required reading. Since the final is cumulative, those who miss the midterm will have their final weighted accordingly.
Papers are to be turned in on or before their due dates as noted in the syllabus.
Late papers will be assessed grade penalties. Papers may, however, be rewritten and resubmitted for evaluation as often as the student wishes. Highest grade will be the one recorded. No incompletes will be given unless special arrangements have been made with me prior to May 8, 2000. Incompletes will only be given when circumstances beyond the control of the student prevent the student from completing part of the course requirements.
