Active participation in class discussion will be expected of all students. Two projects are required as the preparation of the final paper. First project includes a two-page long proposal and bibliography of the proposed final paper.
Second project is an oral presentation, which leads to finalization of the final essay.
Guidelines will be issued for paper topics, and students will define individual topics in consultation with the instructor. All reading assignments are to be completed by the dates listed in the schedule. All texts, including those available for purchase, will be on reserve. Please plan ahead for reserve readings, some of which will be included in a course packet. In addition to required readings, a number of texts will be available on reserve for use as background material for your papers.
