TUTORIAL OUTLINE:
Tutorials are intended to complement course lectures and readings. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE REQUIRED READINGS LISTED BELOW BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR TUTORIALS.
Each tutorial will address the same
topic as the week's lectures. Each student will prepare a list of three
questions based on the week's recommended readings for each tutorial and
post these to the class newsgroup (pol351-d1@sfu.ca) no later than 5:00
Monday of the week of class. These questions will form the basis for discussion
in that week's tutorial and will form the major component of the tutorial
grade. LATE QUESTIONS WILL RECEIVE A ZERO GRADE.
