That is your challenge this semester. You are expected to attend class regularly, to have read the assigned text material prior to class, and to participate in class discussions. Failure to attend class regu-larly will cause a lowering of your course grade . Cheating and plagiarism are strictly forbidden, and, consistent with University policies, any instance of either constitutes grounds for automatic failure. Since your analytical paper will explore an interesting concept, theory, or issue which you encounter during the semester and which requires my approval be especially alert to possible topics as you do the required reading and engage in class discussions.
Topics can be historical or contemporary, purely theoretical or practice-oriented.
It is your responsibility to have an extra copy of your analytical essay in addition to the one you hand in to me. Should the unthinkable happen and I lose or misplace the one you give me, I will have to ask you for another one. Final grades are based upon your written work and my evaluation of your class at-tendance and participation.
