REGULAR
QUIZZES: There will be three types of quizzes
that you will do with the GRK 203 students—Big, Little, and Principal
Part. The Big Quizzes will cover
approximately two previous weeks of reading assignments and will be on the
following dates (all Fridays):
August 25, September 22, October 20, and November 17. Principal Parts Quizzes will be given
on Mondays beginning August 21.
The Little Quizzes will be given as needed. All quizzes will take place at the beginning of class. If you arrive late and we are still
taking the quiz, you may take it but you must hand it in with everyone
else. If you arrive after I have
collected the quizzes, you will receive a zero. N.B. THERE
WILL BE NO MAKEUP QUIZZES FOR ANY REASON; IF YOU MISS A QUIZ OF ANY SORT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO. I will
drop your lowest Big Quiz grade, your lowest Little Quiz grade, and your lowest
Principal Parts Quiz grade when I figure your final grade for the course.
EXTRA
READINGS: You will read two additional speeches of Lysias on
your own and be quizzed on the assigned readings every two weeks. The assignments are posted on
Blackboard.
ARTICLE
REVIEW/ORAL REPORT: You will be assigned a scholarly article on Lysias or
a related topic. You will read the
article and write a short paper (3-4 pages) about the content of the article
and whether or not you agree with it.
You will also give a short oral report to the class on your article in
November.
MIDTERM
EXAMS: We will have three midterm exams on the following
dates (all Fridays: September 8,
October 6, and November 3. Please note that the second midterm is on the day
before fall break; please make your plans for break accordingly.
ATTENDANCE: You need to be here to every day. If you miss more than 3 classes
for any reason, you will be dropped from the course.
FINAL
EXAM: The final exam will be on Wednesday, December 6 from
noon to 3 p.m.
OTHER
INFORMATION:
1. Please make sure you have read and
understood the Academic Integrity Policy (it can be found at http://academicintegrity.uncg.edu). I will ask you to sign the Academic Integrity
Pledge on all graded
work.
2. As far as homework is concerned, my
standards are the same as those of the Bryan School of Business here at UNCG
(found in the 2006-2007 Undergraduate Bulletin, p. 75):
In
general, students should plan to devote between 2-3 hours outside of class for
each hour in class.
