Readings

Students are expected to read the required readings, and any examinations in the class will assume familiarity with any reading material from the textbook or other distributed readings. All the readings and when they are due will be posted on the Calendar. Students are expected to come to class having read any required readings listed on the Calendar for that day's class.  Occasionally, a short written assignment will accompany a reading to help prepare you for any in-class discussion. 

Discussions in class will be structured to allow all students to participate and students will be graded based on that participation

Calendar

Weekly lecture topics, readings and other assignments and project due dates will all be posted on the Calendar . Please visit this page often as it will be updated regularly.

Additional Readings Sign-Up 

You are required to sign up for at least two additional readings during the semester. Please do not wait until the end of the class to do this. The additional readings are part of your class participation grade. The additional readings will be posted on the Calendar, on the day that they are due.
