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.

Extra Credit Options
For those conscientious students who may want a way to solidify your
grade or take stress off the final, two extra credit options, each worth
5 pts. (to be added to the final exam), will be available during the term.
The first option is a paper (approx. 1000 words, typed, double-spaced
and in 12 pt. font) on Henry VIII's flagship the Mary Rose. An assignment
sheet will be handed out in class on Friday 6 February, and the paper
will be due on Friday 13 February (at 9:00 a.m.). The second option will
be based on the film A Man for All Seasons, which will be shown
on the afternoon of Monday 16 February. Details for this paper will be
distributed at that time, and it will be due on Friday 20 February (also
at 9:00 a.m.).
