Students are expected to attend all classes, to read the assigned texts thoroughly and critically, and to participate in class discussions, including the e-mail discussion list. While attendance does not constitute a specific percentage of the final grade, your overall pattern of attendance will be taken into consideration when your final grade is determined.

Written requirements include: a in-class quiz on Buddhist terms, a series of critical response papers based on class readings, and a ritual research project.

It is the responsibility of all students enrolled in this course to be aware of and in compliance with the university's regulations regarding academic integrity; click here for a statement of UVM's policy. If you have any questions about these regulations, you should speak to the instructor for further clarification. Ignorance will not be considered a legitimate excuse for infringement of these regulations. Violations of the standards of academic honesty will be reported.

Religious Holidays: Students have the right to practice the religion of their choice. Each semester students should submit in writing to their instructors by the end of the second full week of classes their documented religious holiday schedule for the semester.

The various course assignments count toward your final grade as follows:

class participation—20%

quiz on Buddhist terms—15%

critical response papers—30%

ritual research project—35%
