- Readings: All readings are required, unless noted otherwise.
- Missed Classes For Activities: If you have an unavoidable conflict, such as a sporting event, please notify me via email one week prior to the class you expect to miss. You will also be expected to submit a response paper by the start of the missed class that critically evaluates two of the assigned readings (unless it is for a week in which there is only one reading). The response paper should be approximately four double-spaced pages (12pt font, 1" margins), and it should go beyond a simple summary. Rather, I want you to really engage with the readings. Questions you might address include: what are the papers' weaknesses? Are the papers' conclusions supported by the evidence? What other research questions might be inspired by the papers, and how would you investigate those questions empirically? What additional evidence do you think the papers should have included? It is permissible to consider each paper separately or to think about them together (how do they reinforce or contradict each other).
- Missed Classes For Illness: If you need to miss a class for illness, please email me to let me know and also provide me with a doctor's note as soon as realistically possible. You will also be expected to submit a 4 page response (see above) due at 9:30am one week after your missed class.
