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.
