REQUIREMENTS:

Active participation in the group discussions, in class presentations and activities is expected. To fully participate, come to class with assigned readings completed, prepared to discuss the weekly topic.  Participation/class attendance is mandatory, and punctuality is expected. Report absences due to illness or family emergency to the instructor, in advance when possible.

Presentation topics will be chosen by the 3rd week of class. Presentations will be 60 minutes long, interactive, and supported by visuals and hand-outs. Detailed guidelines will be provided in class.

Extensions are granted only under extenuating circumstances, such as documented illness, and must be negotiated with me (preferably before the due date).   

Class environment and participation. All members of the class contribute to creating a respectful, open and inclusive learning environment.  Please consult with me about any issues that impact your participation in the course.
