Course Evaluation
The overall course grade will be based on the following:

Multiple-Choice Tests (5% each for total of 25%)
Each test will cover the assigned required reading since the last test (i.e., not cumulative). The number of questions on each test will vary depending on the reading assigned, however no test will be scheduled for more than45 minutes. Note:Class discussion will either precede or follow these tests with the exception of November 3, 1998 when only the test will be held (i.e., no class discussion).

Final Exam (25%)
The final exam will involve a synthesis of both content and process throughout the term. The exam will consist of three essay questions of which you must answer two. These questions will be based on required readings, student presentations and class discussion. This exam will be scheduled sometime between December 9th and 22nd.

Note: You must write all exams to receive a grade in the course. A missed exam will result in a grade of F. Illness and bereavement (supported by appropriate documentation) are the only excuses accepted at Carleton for missed exams. If you miss an exam, be sure to get a doctor's certificate and contact me immediately (within 24 hours) so that a make-up exam can be arranged. If you are using my voice mail, leave the date and time you phoned as well as your name, phone number and student ID number. Make-up exams must be written within 7 days of the original exam date. Failure to provide adequate documentation will result in a grade of F for the course.

If you miss the final exam, you must make an application for a deferred final in writing to the appropriate Registrarial Services within the time specified by the 1998-99 Undergraduate Calendar. For students in the Arts and Social Sciences, you have 14 days after the original final examination date to apply for a deferred exam (see Calendar). Deferred exams are not granted to accommodate travel plans.

Learning Journal (15%)
A key part of this course is the application of what is learned from reading and research to an analysis of social problems as presented in the media and/or as experienced in day-to-
