• Submit all assignments on time.
• Contribute to class and group discussions, both in class and online.

READINGS
There is no required textbook for this class. Readings will be provided digitally, and it will be your responsibility to either print these or have a method of annotating them digitally. All readings must be brought to class on the day they will be discussed.
PAPERS
There will be four major papers, each between 2-6 pages long. All papers will be accompanied by a short meta-commentary reflection.
GRADING POLICY
Final grades will be 60% from major papers (including drafts, meta-commentary, and peer reviews). The remainder of the grade (30%) will be from attendance/participation, short writing responses, and an in-class presentation.
