presence is highly valued. In addition, students will usually work with colleagues and will
frequently present findings and analysis during class time.

In this course, your grade is based on participation in a learning process and the
creation of individual products that emerged from participation in learning activities and
homework. In addition, you will be asked to complete an independent major assignment
that will be evaluated for evidence of how you are learning and growing as a
professional.
