Grading for this course
-
20% Assignments - each assignment must be completed by the beginning of the following class (see schedule). Late assignments will penalized.
-
10% Quizes - A few in-class quizzes will be given; most will be related to the reading assignments.
-
15% Class (and e-mail) Participation - I expect the class to use e-mail to help address issues and problems as well as to create community of interest. There will be a class mailing list for this purpose. At the first meeting we will decide whether to use hypermail or to use a closed listserv. Unexcused absences will result in a reduction of your final grade.
