House Rules:

1. Do your homework. Come to class. Be prepared to talk. Always bring the text to class.


2. Oral reports: Students will be required to present several oral reports during the
   semester. See the Reading / Report Schedule and Paper Assignments for full information.


3. Journals: Students will write a weekly journal of no less than a full typed page. These
   journals must be about some aspect of the class or readings, and should be posted on the class
   email list by 3:00 p. m. Tuesday. Individual journal entries will be ungraded, but you will receive
   a collective grade based on the percentage of the total you actually submit.


4. Papers: Students will write 3 short papers plus a final project. See Assignments for full
   information.


5. Grading: I use a 4-point grading scale:
   For final grades: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1;F=0.
   
   For individual assignments: A=4; A-=3.7; B+=3.3; B=3; B-=2.7; C+=2.3; C=2;
                                                C-=1.7; D+=1.3; D=1; D-=0.7; F= 0.
   
   The relative value of the assignments is as follows:
   
   Oral reports 15%
   Papers 30% (10% each)
   Final Project 30%
   Journals 15%
   Attendance & Participation 15%
   
   ALL WORK MUST BE DONE TO PASS THE CLASS.


6. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another's work, whether directly quoted or
   paraphrased. It is intellectual theft and will not be tolerated. The best a plagiarist may hope for
   is an "F" on the particular assignment. If you have questions about plagiarism, please do not
   hesitate to ask.
