• Format of Final Papers:

• Each submission, draft and final, will be within the page limit assigned for each paper.

• Staple your papers together using a single staple in the upper left corner.

• Group Presentations: you will sign up for a group presentation. You will be responsible for following the given guidelines.
• Reading Journals: You are responsible for posting EIGHT reading journal entries to your blog (to be set up on the course website).You must keep track, and make sure you complete the eight before the end of the semester. Entries should be from 250-400 words and will be graded on a five-point scale.
• Assignments /Quizzes: Keeping up with the reading is a major priority for this course. In order to facilitate this goal I will be giving periodic reading quizzes and asking for discussion questions to be turned in. Various assignments fall into this category, the majority of which will be graded on a five-point scale.
• Participation: you are expected to come to class prepared to participate in class discussion.
