9 Final exam at 4:00 p.m. (Tuesday)
GRADE in the course is based upon four factors:
Two in-class examinations, 6 March (25%) and 7 April (25%)*
Final examination 25% Tuesday 9 May at 4:00 p.m.
Research project** 25%
*No makeups for unexcused absences; makeups for excused absences will take place during final exam period (final exam will be about as long as a regular in-class exam)
**Familiarity with and intelligent use of both primary and secondary sources, and knowing the difference between them, is crucial to a good research project. I can provide suggestions for topics, but since the most rewarding and successful research comes from each individual's own interests, each student should consult me (by early February, to allow time to check availability of resources).
Note: Late projects will be marked down 10 percentage points per weekday (weekends free)
