Examination -Thursday of finals week

In addition to the exams, there will be two short papers (1000 words). You may

write all three papers and drop the lowest grade. I take attendance every day;

more than four absences will jeopardize your grade. MORE THAN 6

ABSENCES WILL RESULT IN A FAILING GRADE. Each examination and paper

will count 20% of the grade.

WVU is committed to social justice. I expect to maintain a positive learning

environment based on communication and mutual respect. Any suggestions to

further such an environment will be appreciated and given serious consideration

The material in this class is central to western humanities; claim your

inheritance! In part that means make an effort to come to class each day

prepared to discuss the assignment.
