FINAL EXAM – Monday 1 May, 7 PM (2 hours 45 mins.)

WRITTEN WORK: Essays are to be submitted in hard copy only (emailed essays will not be
accepted). Essays should be double-spaced and printed in a minimum of 12-point font. Hand-written
essays are acceptable; they also must be double-spaced. It is good practice to keep a duplicate copy of
the final version of your essay, until the course is finished. Essays that are illegible or otherwise
unacceptably presented may be returned for rectification.

The term essay is to be submitted in class to the instructor the day it is due. Late essays must be turned
in the following week in class to the instructor and will be assessed a 10% penalty. Essays more than
one week late will not be accepted unless supported by a medical certificate giving a clear and
convincing explanation for your inability to complete the assignment on time. If you miss the final
exam or in-class assignment, a makeup exam/assignment must be justified in a similar way. Extensions
for non-medical reasons will only be granted in extreme circumstances with the appropriate supporting
documentation.

ABSENSES: You may miss one class without explanation or excuse. I suggest you save this absence
for sickness or car troubles, etc.; every additional absence will result in the reduction of your
participation grade by 1/3 of a grade.

PARTICIPATION: Participation counts for 15% of your grade. Regular, thoughtful participation in
the course materials is expected.

PLAGARISM: If you submit an assignment that includes material that you did not write, but that is
presented as your own work, you are guilty of plagiarism. The reader must know at every point
whether he/she is reading your work or someone else’s. If in doubt, cite your sources. The penalties for
plagiarism are severe. See the University policy on plagiarism.
