*The
midterm and final exams will include material from both the textbook
and class lectures. When studying for both exams, please remember that
all material in the course is fair game, so it is to your advantage to
study everything. That having been said, material that is covered
both in the textbook AND discussed in class is more likely to appear on an exam than is material covered only in one or the other.
Please note: there is NO extra credit offered in this course. Points are earned by completing the requirements listed above. In
addition, I will consider any collection of 4 or more consecutive,
unquoted words taken from another source to be plagiarism. Any writing
assignment containing any plagiarized content will receive an automatic
grade of F.
