Your final grade will be determined by the number of points which you have achieved out of the maximum total possible 200. The midterm, the final exam, and both of the research papers are each worth 50 points or 25% of your total grade. Your final letter grade will be assigned on the basis of your personal performance in comparison to the rest of the class (i.e., a curve). No extra credit work will be assigned or accepted.
Cheating on tests, the sale of course notes, unauthorized collaboration on papers, plagiarism (even electronic), or other forms of academic dishonesty will be considered grounds for course failure and referral to Student Honor Court. Regular class attendance and active participation in discussion is strongly encouraged.
