I will evaluate your contribution to our class discussion forum each week. Your weekly grade depends on the quality and timeliness of your postings. Late postings will not be counted in determining your weekly grade. While the weekly discussion forums focus on threads that I have initiated, an open forum is available for you to discuss other ideas, questions, issues and so on that are of interest or concern to you. Here you can start your own discussion threads and share supplementary material and information with others in the class.
Supplementary material includes relevant news stories, web sites, and personal experiences.
You may add links to URLs to our web site list, but must bring them to our attention in the weekly or open discussion forums first. I will evaluate your contribution to the open forum and the supplementary materials you have brought to the class at the end of the semester. This paper offers you an opportunity to extend and apply ideas from the readings and class discussion. I of the course. You will research and analyze some aspect of contemporary youth culture.
