All reading assignments must be read before class.
Some instructors give quizzes.
All essays written outside of class must be independently researched, typewritten, and submitted promptly on the due date. A cash prize is awarded for the best Core Studies 1 essay each term. The Brooklyn College Learning Center can provide trained tutors to assist students needing help with their writing assignments. Students must attend class regularly and punctually. If a student is absent without excuse for more than the equivalent of one week of classes, or frequently late, the student's grade in the course will be lowered.
