I will judge performance in this class based on the quality of individual participation in the weekly seminar. Reading the assigned material before the seminar session in which it will be discussed will ensure a high level of involvement and discussion at each session. A written essay will be assigned if class participation is not satisfactory.
The reading(s) that follow each week heading are to be read before the seminar meeting for which they are listed. We will discuss the reading material in detail, so bring the texts and your notes to class.
