COURSE REQUIREMENTS

Both attending class and completing the assignments are essential for your success in the course. The lectures, class exercises, class hand-outs, and movies cover material that is not covered in the readings, and your written work will require you to draw on both what you read and what you learn in class. The written assignments will consist of informal, short in-class exercises, three more formal take-home essays and accompanying worksheets, an in-class midterm exam, and a final exam. Attendance and the informal in-class exercises together will count for 10% of your final grade for the course. The first and second essays should both be in the range of 3-5 pages long; they are each worth 15% (5% for the worksheet; 10% for the essay). The third essay is more substantial: it should be in the range of 6-8 pages long and is worth 25% of your grade (10% for the worksheet; 15% for the essay). The midterm exam will consist of short identifications and count for 15% of your grade; the final exam will require short identifications and a short essay question, and it will count for 20% of your grade.
