課程要求
Quizzes: These are pop quizzes at the beginning of class meant to make sure that students have previewed course material, be they readings or video clips.

Participation: Students are required to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned texts/clips and actively participate in group discussion. Each group, consisting of 5-6 members, will try to provide in-depth answers to one of the week’s discussion questions. After class, students will have to fill out an online survey (in Google Forms) to rate the performance of all the group members.

Group Presentation: After discussion, each group will present its ideas for 5 minutes (and no more). A good presentation shall have a concise central idea with good oral delivery. All members will receive the same grade, three-quarters of which rest with the entire class. Students shall listen carefully to the presentations and mark fairly on the grading sheet.

Essays: Students will write three short essays of 200 words during the semester. The first two essays will be responses to class material, while the third will be a revision of one of the previous essays. Writing prompts and guidelines will be distributed in advance. No late assignments will be accepted.

Final Group Project: In groups of 5-6, students will do a 20-minute group presentation at the end of the semester on a topic of their choice as long as it is related to the course materials. Groups must schedule an appointment with the TA for consultation no later than one week before the presentation.
