A. Individual Participation
The most valuable information provided by this course may well come from participation in class; regular participation, therefore is expected. Although attendance is highly encouraged, we recognize that not all students are able to attend each class session. It is the responsibility of each student to notify me of any upcoming absences and makeup any missed subject matter, case studies, videotapes, and assignments.
B. Written Work
Unless otherwise indicated during class, all homework (including case studies) will be typed, double-spaced, on white 8 ½ x 11 papers, using BLACK ink. Margins will not be less than 1” left and right, not more than 1” top and bottom. Items submitted are expected to be of graduate quality, language, and depth. NO FOLDERS WILL BE USED. Written work will be submitted ( a cover sheet is not necessary) with student name, course number, title of work, date, etc. and stapled at the upper left hand corner. Points may be deducted for poor grammar, spelling, and appearance.
C. Reading Assignments
Reading assignments are provided in part VI of this syllabus. In addition, occasional additional readings may be assigned in class. Students are expected to be familiar with materials/assignments prior to discussion periods as scheduled.
