There are six brief 1-2 page papers based on the assigned readings. A list of the assignments is appended to this syllabus. Students will be graded on the five best papers. If you cannot attend class, you may turn your paper in to me early, or have a classmate turn it in during class time. Late papers will not be accepted .
Students are responsible for material covered in lectures and discussions.
Classes on Mondays and Wednesdays will usually take the form of a lecture. On Fridays we will discuss the readings assigned for the week. Students must come to class every Friday having completed the reading assignment and be ready to talk about it in discussions. I will also give occasional pop quizzes on the reading assignments. Pop quizzes will only occur on Fridays.
