GRADING: your score on the following will determine the grade in this
course:
3 Quizzes (worth 20 % each for a total of 60%)
3 Essays, 3 pages, double-spaced, based on Class Discussions
(each worth 10%). Discussion participation 10%
CLASS REQUIREMENTS:
You are expected to attend class and required to read the material
covered in the lectures, readings, films, and for any announcements
made in class. Absences will negatively affect your grade. I
automatically drop any student who has more than 4 unexcused
absences.
I absolutely do not discuss grades in class or during the class sessions,
for this, or any administrative or bureaucratic matter, you need to talk
to me after class or during office hours, also I encourage you to use e-
mail as a main form of communication with me.
I encourage student’s informed participation in discussion during
lectures.
Students must do the reading in anticipation of lectures and films is
absolutely required, students cannot ask questions or understand
lectures, let alone answer discussion questions if they don’t do the
reading and believe me, it shows during lecture when students do not
read. I strongly encourage students to ask me for help in clarifying
points or concepts in the readings during class, via e-mail, or during
office hours. I cannot overemphasize when I say that reading with a
purpose is imperative to obtain a good grade in this class.
Do not leave class early.
