Classes will meet twice per week for about eighty minutes. The class will follow the standard lecture format unless there is a class discussion or presentation. The class will be responsible for two papers, a short writing assignment, and a final exam. The papers will be on the Williams and Jordan books. Each student, however, will be assigned to a discussion group and graded on the groups performance in class. The rest of the course grade will come from class participation and attendance. Credit will also be given for regular participation on the SOCS discussion board (https://delphi.tcnj.edu:83/). Here you are expected to pose questions, spark debate, and answer questions to generated by other classmates or the professor.
