Assigned Readings and Lectures: You are expected to attend every lecture and be an active participant in class discussions. Class participation is critical. By participating in class, you are engaged in the learning process, assessing the ideas presented, and shaping the focus of the class. Class becomes more dynamic, interesting and rewarding when students actively share their ideas, objections, critiques, and questions. You are expected to come to class having read the assigned material and be prepared to make comments, raise questions, and offer opinions on the comments of others. Although I will lecture, a large portion of time will be devoted to discussion. I will periodically check to see whether articles have been read. Failure to read them will affect your grade.
