Without question you should be in class every day, ready to learn. Should you fall ill, break your leg, or have another serious dilemma that prevents your attendance, you are responsible for politely asking a classmate if you can HAND-COPY their notes (do not forget to say thank you!). Additionally, you should set up a time to go over missed material with Dr. Myers at the earliest possible opportunity. Although no portion of your course grade is allotted to participation, it is expected of all Cornell students and, to be perfectly honest, the more you discuss the information you are learning, the better you will learn it. Note: All assignments must be completed for you to earn a passing grade in this course.

Grading Scale

A = 100%-93% B = 86.9%-83% C = 76.9%-73% D = 66.9%-63%
A- = 92.9%-90% B- = 82.9%-80% C- = 72.9%-70% D- = 62.9%-60%
B+ = 89.9%-87% C+ = 79.9%-77% D+ = 69.9%-67% F = below 60%

Extra Credit Options
For those conscientious students who may want a way to solidify their grade, take stress off the final or whatever, I will be showing six films during the term to widen your understanding of specific topics from the course. The films will also be on RESERVE in the library in case you are unable to make the scheduled time due to a legitimate conflict. There will be questions on the films for you to answer on both the midterm and final to gain extra points on each exam. More details on the nature of the questions will follow in class.

In addition, there will be two optional extra credit sessions on the day preceding each exam to spend more time on a specific topic, with the aid of the internet as a teaching tool. The points earned during these sessions will be added to your Map & Vocabulary Quizzes respectively.

Gobbets
Gobbets are sections of text that you will be given from each of the documents we read during the semester. On each exam you will be required to comment on 10 of the 20 documents for that half of the course. For each document you will need to know who wrote it (1 pt. for name, which must be spelled correctly), the context/motivation/consequences of the document (6 pts.), and you will also need to address what the quote itself is discussing (3 pts.).
