Policies
Students with Special Needs
If you have a disability, please see a counselor at Disabilities Services at 1525 Webb Center, 683-4655 so that I can be notified of what accommodations are appropriate for you. Please submit a letter of accommodation if you already have one.
Late Assignments
Late papers will normally not be accepted. In case of emergenies, prior notice of teaching faculty is required when turning in late assignments.
Grading
There will be three assignments to write essays. Each will be 25% of the grade. The weekly reading assignments and participation in the deliberations in the class, including the answering of reading-related questions will make up the remaining 25% of the overall grade.
The main benefit of the class results from participating in, and contributing to the deliberations in the class. This requires presence in the classes. However, we are aware that sometimes this is not always possible. Considering the importance of the classes, an absence from more than four classes cannot be considered as a pass.
