JOURNALS Students will be writing in a journal periodically through the course. Students are responsible to bring their own journal (Spiral notebooks, no three ring binders or loose leaf paper). The Instructor will provide journals at the beginning of the term for $0.50 for a limited time. Journal entries will either be in response to a given topic or free written during class. The journals will be collected each quarter for evaluation and grading. LECTURE NOTEBOOK At the end of each semester students will be responsible to turn in a lecture notebook consisting of all notes, assignments and handouts given during that given semester. Since notes can be used on exams, good notetaking is essential. SIMULATION At some point during the course (probably first semester) the class will be participating in a simulation. A major portion of your grade will be basedon your participation in this simulation. The simulation will be a combiantion of classroom activities, homework assignments, group work and individual presentations. More information will be given when we begin the simulation. | Other Graded Materials | ||||||||||||||||
