Grades
will be based on a combination of five components:
1. Comparison
of 2 views on foreign policy (20%)
2. Take home quiz in outline form of four encyclopedia articles (20%)
3. Group presentations (10%)
4. Class participation (5%)
5. Final paper (12-14 pages) (45%)*
*Final paper due on last day of classes
I do not
have a policy on tardiness. Punctuality is an academic civility, not
a cognitive enrichment.
But unexcused
absences are an affront to reciprocal civility.
If you
must be absent (the "better angels of our nature" do succumb
to human frailties), please notify me before class begins. Prior notification
willl be accepted as an excused absence. Here is my contact
information.
Three unexcused
absences will result in automatic grade reduction.
Please
note: A grade reduction will be applied for an unexcused absence of
the last day of class.
