In addition to discussion of the reading, other supplemental activities and field trips may be required. To receive honors credit students must complete all course requirements at the B-level or higher. Students are expected to conduct research throughout the semester. Each week students will submit an annotated bibliography of the outside material they have read for that week. Bibliographies may not exceed one physical page, but should include full citation, evaluation, 1-10 rating and recommendation to other students.
Students are responsible for full participation in the class.
This includes making thoughtful contributions to class discussions. Additionally, some class time will be dedicated to group activity and plenary reports of that activity. The readings in this syllabus represent a framework, the bare minimum of required. Students are expected to identify, digest, and present issues and ideas from outside reading. A tally of the number of positive contributions made by each student will be kept and used as an aid in calculating class participation grades.
