* When leading class discussion you and a classmate will be responsible
for outlining the chapter(s) assigned as reading for that day in 30-40
minutes. You may use whatever format you choose, and you should be
prepared to answer questions from your classmates. You must each
introduce 3-5 new vocabulary terms from the chapter and provide
their definitions (these may be given by the author, or you may have to
look them up in the Oxford
English Dictionary in the library). You should also discuss the sources
used by the author in the chapter(s) and comment on their usefulness in
your opinion. If you have questions you should see Dr. Myers the day before
you are to lead the discussion.
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.
