In order to cover the entire lifespan, we will need to cover an average of one textbook chapter per day. Each of us must prepare thoroughly for class in order to create a productive learning environment. I am committed to preparing each class carefully and thoroughly, and to trying to make the material engaging and relevant. If you must miss a class, it is important that you get the notes, handouts, etc. Following these discussions, each group will submit a written summary of the discussion and each member s contribution to it.
Tests cover material from the text, other assigned reading, lecture, and discussion.
Tests are untimed and take about an hour, after which you are free to go. The Final Exam is not comprehensive but will require that you synthesize material from the course in order to analyze several essay questions. I will assign these questions ahead of time to allow you to organize your thoughts and prepare your responses. Thus, they cannot be made up. Therefore, Unit Tests cannot be taken late for any reason.
