Readings: You will be assigned readings from the text, supplementary course notes, and academic papers. It is essential that you do these readings by their due date, so that we may have informed class discussions.

Problem Sets: When problems are assigned you will have approximately one week to complete them. Problems will appear in the course notes. Due dates will be announced in class.

Papers: You may be assigned one or more short papers to write.

Classwork: Class time will be spent with a mixture of lecture, discussion, video presentations, and game playing.

Attendance: Attendance is a basic requirement of the class! For each pair of unexcused absences your grade will drop by one letter.

Pass/Fail: Students who opt to take this class C/NC are reminded that they need a minimum grade of C to pass.
