There will be three Assignments due on the dates listed above. Each assignment will be a short essay of 2 pages (no less than 600 words) on an assigned topic. Your writing will be judged on its clarity, focus, and insight. The assignments are not posted in advance, the links will not work until after the last class before the assignment is due.
The Concluding test will be held in class at our last class meeting. It will cover material from the entire course. It will include factual questions, to make sure you have kept up with the readings, and analytical questions that will test your understanding of the material.
Attendance in class is required. Participation in class discussion improves your grade.
