Class Attendance
You must come to class. There will be a sign in sheet every

Your Contributions to the Class
I’ll ask you to make three kinds of
contributions:
·
Approximately
every other class meeting, I’ll ask everyone to bring in a relevant
article from some recent media source.
You should come prepared to describe your article (and its significance)
to the class.
·
For several of
the topics that we’ll discuss, I’ll hand out one article to get our
discussion going. I’ll ask
each of you to read it and to find and bring in at least one more article on
the same subject. You should come
prepared to contribute to our discussion by, among other things, sharing your
article with us.
·
We will discuss
the way that various scientific disciplines are likely to affect the world in
which we live. I’ll expect
you to make particular contributions when we’re considering your major
area(s).
Students with Disabilities

(physical or cognitive) who requires academic accommodations should contact the
