COURSE CALENDAR {subject to change via this online version, stay tuned!}
1.
The following calendar lists the dates of the units of study and the
accompanying readings in the required text. As
the semester progressesm
Additional written
assignments,
2.
Classroom time will be devoted primarily to the clarification, exploration, and
discussion of the issues generated by the readings and students' research. In
other words, class sessions will be based on your readings and
research, but will not simply "rehash" the same exact material in a verbatim
manner. You can be better prepared for the classroom activities & discussions if
you keep up on your readings.
It is the student's responsibility to be prepared for class by
anticipating the units and discussion assignments.
NB: Updates and additional details will be made via the online
calendar and/or via email.
** Any missed major presentations will default to a: DURING-FINALS-WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY procedure . Consequently, the opportunity to make up such missed presentations is not guaranteed.** { NB: Only a few make-up slots will be available.
