If you have concerns about your preparation for this class, please see the instructor. You are responsible for all readings and all information covered in lectures. There may also be bonus points available for class participation. Grade cut-offs are computed from the top total number of points received by one student across the 3 tests. To some extent, grades will also reflect class behavior.
Tests are all essay.
Each is worth 50 points. I will hand out the essay questions the Monday before each test. You will have to write answers to those questions during class time. The exams are NOT open book. If you wish to write rough drafts of essay questions and give them to me ahead of time to examine and give you feedback, I will do so, but only up to the Wednesday afternoon before the test.
