Regular attendance and full participation in seminar discussions are primary requirements. Participants must thoroughly and thoughtfully complete all reading and writing assignments prior to each meeting. Each week two or three students will serve as "experts," meaning they will have mastered the assigned readings, read additional material, posted discussion questions, and prepared a handout and/or multimedia presentation.

In addition to regular and expert participation requirements, there will be a midterm exam and a term paper. These four components of your class performance will contribute equally to your course grade as described under Grading.
