Attendance and Drop Policy:
The course emphasizes on class participation. Non participation in seminars and debates (due to absence)
will result in a lower a grade. If you have a medical or disability problem, please feel free to contact the instructor.
Assessment:
Quizzes (number and type): There will be NO Quizzes
Examinations (number and type): There will be NO Exams
Final Examination: No Final Exam
Other Graded Assignments (Homework / Projects / Labs / Research Papers):
The course emphasizes on class participation, during lectures, seminars and debates. The course involves writing one paper
(individual or group), completing a project and a report (individual or group) and a debate (group only.)
Grading Format Weighting / Point Value of Assignments and Examinations:
Term Paper : 40% Project : 40% Debate: 20%
IMPORTANT NOTE: Active participation in discussions, seminars and debates is mandatory for this course. All components
include some weight for class participation - absence and/or passive presence will seriously affect your grade. All participants
will be required to review research articles. Term paper topics, teams and project/debate topics will be identified by
random selection. You will be required to write two papers - the term paper is based on individual work and the project work
and presentation involves team work. Academic dishonesty includes PLAGIARISM. If any of the papers you submit are found to
be plagiarized, then you may be penalized according to University policies.
