COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING
You will have a significant amount of reading and writing to do in this
class. At least one reading will be assigned for each class. Where
possible, the readings will be scanned in and available to you on the
Internet in a password protected site. Much of the work of the course
consists of reading and reflecting on that reading in order for you to
take ownership of the concepts. Your reflection will be through a
portfolio.
Other assignments include a preliminary organization paper, a group
presentation, and a final reflection paper. Detail for each assignment
is provided through the assignments page. The
weight of the course requirements is as follows:
- 10% - Assign. 1 - Organization Paper
- 50% - Assign. 2 - Portfolio
- 15% - Assign. 3 - Group Presentation
- 10% - Assign. 4 - Reflection Paper
- 15% - Class Participation
Class participation means attending all classes or notifying me if you are
unavoidably absent. It also means contributing to class and
group discussions and activities.
My expectation is that you will all do satisfactory graduate level work,
recognized in this university by a grade of P. If your work falls below
that level, I will let you know. Some of you will do outstanding work
considerably above the expected level and I'll let you know this as
well.

HONOR SYSTEM
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has had a
student-administered
honor system and judicial system for over 100 years. Because academic
honesty and the development and nurturing of trust and trustworthiness
are important to all of us as individuals, and are encouraged
and promoted by the honor system, this is a most significant University
tradition. The system is the responsibility of students and is
regulated and governed by them, but faculty share the responsibility
and readily commit to its ideals. If students in this class have
questions about their responsibility under the honor code, please
bring them to me or consult with the Office of the Dean of Students
or the Instruments of Student Judicial Governance. This document
contains all policies and procedures pertaining to the student
honor system. The Honor Code is, as always, in effect in this
course.
