Notes:
A.1. Active participation is vital to the success of our class. I expect you to be prepared by having read and thought about the texts, especially when questions have been set for you. This aspect of your mark not only considers how you contribute to discussions, but also your ability to listen actively. I encourage you to learn from your classmates and to act in a way that enables others to learn.

A.2. The surveys, quizzes, and written responses are designed to help both you and I to assess our progress throughout the course. The surveys will help me to evaluate my contribution to the intellectual community and for you to reflect on your role in it. The responses and quizzes will provide you with the opportunity to ponder, digest, and respond to the material we are considering in class. They should provide you with a resource for writing papers and preparing for examinations. They will also help me to identify areas of achievement or in need of improvement.

B. 1-3. I do not accept drafts or final essays by email. You must submit your draft with your final paper to receive credit for it. By writing drafts you will be able to develop your ideas and receive feedback about matters of style, convention, and content in your writing before the final paper is due. You will receive full credit (2 % of your final grade) for each one that is handed in on time and makes a reasonable effort to accomplish the assigned task. You will also be expected to participate fully in workshops on days in which the drafts are due. The late policy for papers does not apply to drafts: late submissions may receive comments if time allows, but they will receive no credit. [back to top]
