IF we stay on task, there will NOT be a final assignment or essay or test. If we have a lot of people not doing the readings, I will be forced to create comprehension exams along the way. I am ok if we go over our time frame for great discussions and questions but I am NOT ok if we do not do the readings. Please take responsibility for your own learning.
