Homework Expectations:
Homework in this class will be very limited, though students will sometimes bring work home to prepare for papers, presentations, speeches, and other forms of assessment.
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.
