Because of the nature of the course content, much of what will be gained in the course will occur from in-class discussions and presentations. In compliance with College policy, only those absences excused by the Dean of Students Office will be accepted by the instructor. Excused absences will not affect the point total for attendance. However, students will be expected to make up any in-class work missed. A two-three page typed paper will be assigned for each excused absence.
Students are to see the instructor for appropriate assignments.
Participation will be expected of all students, according to their ability. Students are expected to come to class prepared to participate in the topic discussion. In order to assure ability to participate it is essential that each student stay current in assigned readings. These assignments will be completed during class time. There will be ten such assignments in all, with each being worth 20 points.
