Course Description

Grading will emphasize mastering the content of the material in the course and thinking critically about the ideas presented. Components of grading will include the following:

• Class assignments: Students will regularly write short reaction pieces in response to readings.
• Class presentations: One or more times during the semester (TBD), each student will take responsibility for an article (or related articles), discuss the material with the instructor, and lead class discussion of the material and reactions to it.
• Final project: Students will do a final project and paper. Details TBD.
• Class participation: contribution to class discussions will also be a factor in evaluating performance in the course. Preparedness is essential.
