Your journal is due for evaluation on 26 January (Monday), 4 March (Wednesday), and 22 April (Wednesday). Grades for those dates are weighted 10%, 40% and 50% respectively. Late or incomplete journals will result in at least the loss of one letter grade. Your journal will be your course archive and your final exam study guide. Students earning an "A" on their journals are exempt from the final exam; however, if your journal is ever late or incomplete, you must take the final exam.

Class Discussion (10%):

Almost all Friday classes will be in seminar format based on assigned readings.

Final Exam (20%):

Your final exam will have 3 sections, each having 2 essay questions. You will choose 1 question from each section. Your final exam will be on Wednesday, 6 May, from 8 until 10:30 am. Bring two essay exam blue books to the exam.
