The exams will have both objective and essay sections. This paper will be an extension of the work begun in the group exercises. The formal group presentation will account for 50 points, and class participation and attendance will account for another 100 points. I strongly recommend that you notify me in advance if you know you must miss a particular class. Please keep in mind that missed classes also detrimentally impact on your class participation.
Studies show that classroom attendance and class performance are positively correlated.
I strongly urge you to work together in preparing for class, exams, and the paper. Working with others in an organized manner is a good way to discover new study strategies and a way to share information. Both of these can enhance performance. All written work, however, must be your own. Plagiarism is literally stealing someone else's work, whether that person is a fellow student or another scholar.
