Projects Parameters
       Periodically, we will conduct a project such as discussion teams, debates, role playing, videos, writing exercises, etc. You will be graded on content and participation. 
       At times, formal discussion teams will be organized around specific issues as projects.  After discussion and analysis, the teams report back to the class.  Students may be asked to perform as professionals in the roles of decision-maker, team leader, facilitator, editor and various resource specialists from a variety of disciplines.  When  an assignment is given by the Professor, the team is to solve the problem and present their solution to the class.  It is expected that all work done in the course, especially in projects, be conducted in a professional, scholarly, & respectful manner. 

Please note that I am a Title IX Responsible Employee, ie a Mandatory Reporter, which means that if you disclose any relevant experiences, eg, sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, & the like, that occurred to you or someone else, I am legally obligatedto report this information to our Title IX coordinator. 

       Notes should be taken.  Periodically, notes may be collected and evaluated.  Announced or pop quizzes are a possible.  These may be over lecture, the readings (which may or may not have been covered in class), videos, presentations, etc.  You may be asked to outline the answer for an essay question. 
       Save all reviews and projects.  They are fair game for the exams. 
       Missed and excused projects may or may not be averaged into your grade:  see your syllabus.  Missed and unexcused activities may not be made up:  see the Late Policy and Make-up Links from the main syllabus.
