Other assigned materials will be put on reserve (R) NOTE: You are expected to attend every class, to come prepared each day to discuss the readings, to work diligently on class presentations, and to read and respond to class e-mail. (You will need an active Colby e‑mail account and to check it at least three times each week.) After the permitted two absences, there will be a penalty for missing additional classes without previously having received permission. Class participation and presentations (25%), the exam and final (50%), and the individual essay (25%) will determine your semester grade. The beginning of the semester is a good time to review the College academic honesty policies.
