There are NO MAKE-UP EXAMS or Quizzes. Late papers will automatically have points deducted. Please turn-in only your work done for this class. Students caught with plagiarized papers or work will automatically fail the class, with letters sent to your department. On the other hand, diligent work and honesty are heartily rewarded with the satisfaction felt in truly developing skills and earning your own grade, whatever it may be, proudly earning it on your own.

1. TWO Document Reviews: The first Document Review is due in Week 3, and you can choose from any of the documents given in the these weeks (3-5 pages, worth 20 points). Then you will need to complete the second Doc Rev (6-8 pages, worth 60 points) by your assigned date, to be posted.

The purpose of these document reviews is to enable you to use textbook, book, and class information in explaining the significance of a document, to give you some depth of understanding, and to help you study the text for the exams. Please see the Document Review Page for more information--and see below for assigned due dates.
