Participation and class activities will enhance your learning and encourage analytical thinking as well as help determine your final grade. Discussion and participation make up a significant portion of the final grade and any classroom discussion can form the basis for an examination or quiz question. All written assignments will be graded in content as well as appearance. Points will be deducted for spelling, grammar, and typographical errors. Whenever supplemental reading material is assigned, it will be required and subject to testing.
Students are responsible for all material presented and discussed in class.
If you can't take an exam due to a legitimate reason, please make arrangements with me in advance to take a make-up exam. Make a copy of all written assignments before handing them in. All written assignment pages should be stapled in the top left hand corner and have a cover page. Articles should be dated within the last two years. Your grade will be based on your ability to summarize the key points of the article as well as your ability to select relevant articles.
