Course Requirements: Students are required to present one of the papers to the class, which will make up 45% of the final grade. Presentation papers must be approved by me. Secondly, students are required to write a short referee’s report (3-5 pages, on a paper that was not presented in class) or a research proposal (3-5 pages), which will also make up 45% of the final grade. The remaining 10% will be based on attendance and participation.
