The in class essays are designed to allow the student to learn, review, and synthesize material, and to write an in-class essay question simulating the comprehensive exams. Each essay will be allocated one-hour of in-class time. Essays should be well organized and well written in addition to being factually correct and complete.
Participation
Your participation will be established by demonstrating that you are well prepared for class. There will be two general areas in which this will be assessed: 1) participation during class (this is a graduate level seminar and every student is expected to contribute to the discussion each meeting); and 2) preparation of weekly assignments including the article critiques. Be sure to check our online syllabus regularly for weekly assignments—they will not be listed on this hard copy document!
