You will have weekly homework assignments, which will typically involve 2-3 pages of writing (1 page = 350 words). Don't even think about turning them in late, unless you have some massively good excuse that you tell me well ahead of time; we won't accept them. There will be 12 weekly assignments in all; you are required to do 10 (your choice). If you do more, we will pick the ten best in determining your grade. You are free to revise any assignment--provided you notify us right away that you want to do so, and turn in the revision no more than two weeks after the given assignment was handed back to you. Occasionally, I may replace the weekly assignment by an in-class quiz; the probability that I will do so will be inversely proportional to my degree of confidence that everyone is doing the reading. There is no final exam, and no mid-term.
The weekly homework assignments will contribute 70% of your grade.
