Three exams will be given B two midterms and a comprehensive final. For students who have taken both midterms, the final is optional. Homework assignments will be made at least one week in advance of their due dates. You may turn them in early, but late assignments will not be accepted. Students are required to participate in a group project.
Students determine the content and nature of the project, subject to instructor approval.
B Team A might debate Team B over the merits of a labor policy issue, e.g., immigration, Social Security, or minimum wages. B Team C might represent a labor union and Team D management in cases involving arbitration or a collective-bargaining contract. B Team E might lead class discussions of labor issues in the news each week. These reports would then be presented to the class, and the class would have an opportunity to ask questions about the reports. I anticipate teams of perhaps three or four students.
