Expectations of Students:
1. Attendance is required. If you need to miss a lecture, please let
me know and we will work out a substitute assignment.
2. A feedback form is required for each speaker. The form will be distributed
on the day of the presentation and must be turned in to your instructor
the following week.
3. Active participation is encouraged. This can be done in the form
of questions, comments, or informal dialogue with the speakers and other
participants.
Criteria for Evaluation
One-hour credit: attend all lectures
and submit a written summary/critique of each lecture.
Two-hour credit: 50% of the grade
will be based on the same criteria as the one-hour credit. The other 50%
will be based on a research paper on one of the topics discussed in the
course. The paper must be 8-10 pages, well researched, properly cited with
all the relevant bibliography.
