If you are more than five minutes late to class, you will not be able to take that day's quiz. Each student will be assigned to a discussion section meeting once a week under the direction of a teaching assistant. Discussion sections give students an opportunity to raise questions about the readings or the lectures, but the main purpose of the discussion sections is to discuss the questions stated on the syllabus for each week and covered in Debating Democracy . Finally, there will be six unannounced quizzes given before lectures on the assigned reading up to that point on the syllabus. The top four scores on these quizzes will count for 10 percent of your final grade.
Teaching assistants have responsibility for all grading.
