Quiz dates will be announced in class. The 1st will be an in class essay that accompanies your 1st test. I will provide study questions for this essay several weeks before the test. The 2nd essay will be written out of class. I will provide that topic later in the semester.
Some material lends inself to group work as well.
In the event of a documented emergency, you may make up tests. You will only be allowed to make up 1 quiz, regardless of circumstances, so try not to miss those. All make ups will be given the last class meeting of the semester. Because syllabus dates are tentative, you will need to keep up with changes as they occur in class. You are responsible for material missed in the classroom, so find someone from whom you may get information right away.
