For all assignments (except the exam), you are to work in teams of two students. You may stick with the same partner over the semester or change for different assignments. If you are not able to find a partner, you may work alone. (Note: in group projects, you are to turn in a single, integrated write-up. All group members receive the same grade.) Exception for the final project (assignment 6): Please, if possible, work in groups of two students for the final project. If, however, you would like to work as a group of THREE for the final project, that is a possibility. (We will expect a level of work from the final projects that corresponds to the size of your team.)
Students are expected to complete all the required readings, attend all class sessions, participate in class discussions and presentations, and complete several short assignments, a longer term project, and an exam. Evaluation of your work will be based on substantive content, analytical rigor, and writing quality.
Late assignments: Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date. Late assignments will be penalized (marked down by 1/2 point per day late). If you will NOT be able to turn in an assignment on time due to an illness (or other medical exigency), please email the instructor BEFORE the due time/date.
Important: Please read these guidelines about writing, coursework and academic integrity.
