Each quiz will have short answer, fill in the blanks, or multiple choice and will be written during the first 15 minutes of class. The overall quiz mark will be the average of the student's 4 best quiz scores. No make-ups will be given for missed quizzes. Students who do well on the first four quizzes may choose not to write the last two. The textbook and material covered in class overlap partially, but not completely.
Students are responsible for all material.
No make-up exams will be given for missed midterms. The list of possible topics is endless, but if you have trouble choosing one, please feel free to consult with the instructor. In order to do the assignment, you will be required to read beyond the textbook, such as journal articles, books, and information acquired from the internet. In your paper, you will summarize the ideas and findings you have read, but in addition, you will also be critiquing them, posing questions, linking them to other things you know, and expressing your own ideas. It is important to develop the habit of thinking about what you read.
