Graduate students will present some of the scholarly articles included in the coursepack. You will be allowed one unexcused absence and one day on which to say “I’m not prepared” over the course of the semester. A failure to prepare or contribute will lower your grade. You will lose 2% of your final grade for each absence beyond the first. Please turn off cell phones in the classroom.
2.	Short papers	30%	Written assignments There will be three written assignments during the semester, some of which may be based on in-class activities. In-class exercises are part of these assignments. You must attend class on the day you submit your paper and participate in the related exercise in order to receive full credit for it.
