Alternatively, students may submit their work by electronic mail by late evening that day. Students may be asked to read their papers during the seminar in order to frame the discussion. You may skip 3 weekly papers over the course of the semester in order to complete work for other courses or for personal reasons. The final project will be a take-home examination that students will have 24 hours to complete. Each of the three exam questions will require broad reflection on the themes of the course, and we expect that students will write 4-5 pages for each.
Students are welcome and encouraged to collaborate in thinking about the study questions.
The final exam, however, should be a strictly individual effort. Exams must reflect original thoughts and ideas. Any direct quotations or paraphrased material from outside sources must be credited and footnoted in your favorite style. Outside sources are not required for an excellent exam. Violation of this constitutes plagiarism.
