COURSE REQUIREMENTS
- Attendance: As a young adult, it is your responsibility to attend classes regularly in order to gain the maximum learning benefit for yourself. Attendance is taken at each class hour.
- Participating in class activities: This will be an interactive course that depends more on classroom discussion and student participation in classroom activities as well as lectures. I would like us to create an open communicative classroom atmosphere where we can freely and actively share our thoughts and ideas. Thus, timely completion of readings, active participation during class or group activities and classroom discussions are expected. You will be responsible for completing the class activities requiring the application of course content to classroom practice. You will be given more specific details for each activity and assignment later in the course. Please note that, you are expected to be having read the relevant part of our course material for that day!
- Weekly Assignments: Students are expected to submit assignments based on class-work. It is recognized, however, that personal responsibilities may sometimes require students to miss a class. In such case it is your responsibility to contact your classmates and make sure that you bring in the required assignment for the following week.
- Midterm Exam: This course will have a midterm exam. Exam will be closed-book covering concepts, principles, issues, and theoretical and practical approaches discussed in the class. Each will be comprehensive; i.e., cover all materials (class discussions, activities, required readings) assigned through the last class day prior to the exam day. No make up exams will be granted unless you have a valid excuse accompanied by appropriate written documentation for missing the exam. The only acceptable form of documentation for an illness will be a written doctor's note. Failure to justify a missed exam will result in a grade of zero
- Seminar Paper: You are expected to write a paper between 10-15 pages examining a related research topic. Your paper will be evaluated on cohesiveness, clarity, rational lines of argument, evenhandedness (both sides of issue) and appropriate use of the English language.
