Homework Expectations:
Homework in this class is very dependent on reading outside of class. Students are expected to arrive to class having completed the reading and prepared to discuss. Further, students will periodically bring work home to prepare for papers, tests, presentations, and other assessments.
If students are absent from class, the expectation is they ask about any make-up work needed upon returning. If they are planning on being gone ahead of an absence, the expectation is they ask about work beforehand.
