NOTES:

Grading: When a student does not write the final examination or otherwise fails to complete the course work, and does not withdraw before the deadline date, an N grade will be assigned. Unless otherwise specified on the course syllabus, all graded assignments for this course must be completed for a final grade other than N to be assigned. An N is considered as an F for the purposes of scholastic standing.

Grading System: The Undergraduate Course Grading System is as follows:

A+ (95-100) | A (90-94) | A- (85-89) | B+ (80-84) | B (75-79) | B- (70-74) | C+ (65-69) | C (60-64) | C- (55-59) | D (50-54) | F (0-49) | N*
*N standing to indicate the student did not complete course requirements

Centre for Accessible Learning: Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need classroom or exam accommodations are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (1250 Maggie Benston Centre) as soon as possible to ensure that they are eligible and that approved accommodations and services are implemented in a timely fashion.

REQUIREMENTS:

There will be a midterm and a final exam in this course. An annotated bibliography will total approximately 3500 words (ten to twelve pages) and critically engage an appropriate range of scholarly publications (journal articles or book chapters). The annotated bibliography will be completed in three stages. Topics should explore in greater depth issues dealing with the politics of working time of special interest to the student. Seminar participation is integral to the course and will be based on weekly assigned readings and questions posted on Canvas.
