These will be multiple choice or fill in the blank format and given towards the beginning of lecture. The five highest scores will be counted, the lowest quiz score will be dropped. No make-up quizzes are planned, if you miss a quiz that will be the one you drop. Students must complete two short papers during the semester. Papers are due at different times so plan your choice to reflect your semester work load.
Students can choose which options best meet their interests and schedule.
Papers must be typed, double spaced and 2-3 pages long. Students should type up no fewer than 5 questions for each reading set. Questions will make up 50 points towards students' final grades. There are a total of 600 points available. This is made up of the top two exam scores, top five quizzes, two papers, and two discussions question sets.
