Midterm (8 March), Final (16 May), a Research Paper, a Map Quiz (9 February), and possibly some other short assignments/quizzes. Several of these assignments represent different stages of the paper. But over the course of the term, the most important assignment is to read the assigned text ahead of each class meeting and prepare responses to the discussion questions.
When it comes to the paper, turn in preliminary assignments late at your own risk. If assignments are handed in late, they probably will not get reviewed in time to help you and that will make it that much harder to finish the next assignment. You know the due dates and assignments well ahead of time. Plan accordingly.
Grinnell College’s Academic Honesty policy is located in the online Student Handbook. It is the College’s assumption that students be aware of and meet the expectations expressed in this policy. If you have questions about how a particular assignment relates to the College’s policy, I will gladly consult with you in advance of the assignment’s due date.
