Grading
The grade for the course will be based on three midterm examinations, two book reviews, and a term paper. These four assignments will be weighted equally. From time to time other work will be assigned; its quality will be used at the margin to raise and lower the course grade.
Note: To pass this course you must take all three examinations
and complete the paper. You are expected to take the examinations and submit
the paper at the scheduled time; exceptions must be negotiated in advance.
The professor reserves full discretion to lower the grade for late work.
