Course Requirements: read--before the dates shown--the
material specifically assigned for discussion (200 points); take
regular
short quizzes (average=200 points); write two in-class essay exams (400
points); write an essay final exam (200 points). Some assignments
may not be graded.
Grading: You should save all written work from the course for
one semester. Grading scale: 90%=A; 80%=B; 70%=C;
60%=D; less than 60%=F.
Policies: The make-up work for any absence, excused or
unexcused, is a one-page typed essay on the reading including direct
quotations
from the text and correct citation (MLA style) for the class missed due
at the beginning of the next class attended. A superficial essay
will result in a quiz grade of zero.
See also the College Catalog and the Student Handbook. Unexcused
absences for more than 10% of classes may lower a final grade one
letter.
Absence, excused and/or unexcused, from more than 25% of classes may be
an automatic F in the course. Students are expected to abide by
the
college Honor Code.

students should continue work as outlined above.
