Soc. 595-01: Theory: For purposes of grading we provide the readings and exercises listed here and on weekly journal issues of Dear Habermas. There will be no "testing." That means that you will not have to live in anxious anticipation of what we will ask and how much you will have to know. Instead, we will provide weekly discussion questions, lectures, essays, and concepts we feel that you should know as a result of having taken this course. You will assure us of that learning and receive your grade for the questions and concepts about which you choose to write and talk with us. In addition you will find detailed explanations and examples on our grading policies in the first week's reading.Each week provides readings both online and in the texts, discussion questions, terms and phrases you are expected to know well enough to link them conceptually to your readings. In additon, through the Academic Assessment section of the weekly issue of Dear Habermas, we provide writing help, including examples and critiques of samples from past students.
