Students taking this course are expected to commit 130 hours over the semester to completing the work. This will include 3 hours per week in class and at least 7 hours a week on average on course reading, research, writing and assignment work. Classes are lecture and workshop/seminar based. Each week there will be prescribed readings, recommended readings and questions and research activities that are part of your class preparation. It is essential that you prepare thoroughly for each weekly class. Prescribed readings are the minimum reading requirement. Lectures and workshops/seminars may introduce material that is additional to the prescribed reading and contributes to the course learning objectives. Engagement in workshop/seminars where you discuss prepared questions and material introduced in the class is an important part of the learning process for this course.
