Course completion requirements

1. Reaction/discussion pieces: 35%

2. Final exam: 50%

3. Participation: 15%

 

Students will need to write 2 short (200-300 word) reaction/discussion pieces during the semester. These should be based on either a required or optional reading, your choice. They should summarize what you see as the key points of the text and raise at least one question for discussion. The question can be about the text itself, looking for clarification, or it can be about the broader implications of the text, bringing in current events. There is a sign-up sheet online, first come-first serve. The reaction piece should be emailed to me by midnight the day before the course – it can be just an email and not an attachment. Students should be prepared to share their thoughts in class.

The final exam is given on the date in the schedule below. It will cover the main points of the required readings and lectures. More details will be provided in class.
