Because this is an interactive and participatory course that only meets once a week, attendance is very important and will be required! Students will have an opportunity to sign in both before and after class to mark their attendance.
Students can have up to 3 unexcused absences.
Assignments
Students will be asked to write a 1 page (double-spaced) reading reflection based on the week’s assigned readings. The reading reflections must engage with at least two of the assigned readings for that week. The assigned readings that need to be completed per week can be found in the syllabus.
Students will be required to go to a minimum of 2 off-campus clinics during the semester (transportation will be taken care of). These off-campus clinics will be graded on the basis of attendance.
There are NO FINAL EXAMS OR PAPERS for this course.
