These presentations should last no longer than 5 to 10 minutes and should highlight the key points of the article and should be viewed as a way to facilitate class discussion. I will pass around a sign up sheet and you may pick a topic. The paper you present should not be one that is cited in the syllabus but should be relevant to your chosen topic and approved by me. There may be additional articles assigned for reading. Attendance Attendance will not be formally taken or graded, with one exception noted below.
Students are responsible for obtaining any missed lecture notes from their classmates.
The presumption of your registration for this course at this time period is that you are able to attend class, arrive on time, and not depart early. There will be three exams. Exams will not be rescheduled for any student under any circumstances. If you have an acceptable excuse and know ahead of time that you will miss the exam time, I will let you take the exam early. Verbal appeals for a grade change will not be entertained, though clarifying questions, when necessary, are fine.
