Terrorism and the American Public Political Science 399 Spring Semester 2003

Your final grade class grade will be based on the combination of the activities outlined below with the following grading scale as a guide:

Midterm: 30% Final: 30% Participation: 15% Paper: 25% (due May 1st in class)

A = 90 - 100% B = 80 - 89% C = 70 - 79% D = 60 - 69% No Pass = 59 and below

As in real life, grammar, spelling, and deadlines count in your evaluation. Students are required to turn in all assignments on the specified due date. This is nonnegotiable. A letter grade will be deducted for every day an assignment is late. (Any assignment turned in to my mailbox after 4:00 pm on the specified date is considered late. Any assignment turned in after a weekend is counted as two days late.)

Participation will be graded on the basis of informed and quality contributions to the class. University policy is that attendance is required at all class meetings "where class participation is essential to primary learning." Subsequently, attendance will be part of your evaluation.

University academic ethics codes apply. Cheating and plagiarism in all their forms are unacceptable, and will result in a zero assignment and possibly a failure in the course. If you are unaware of the proper format for citation in research papers or reports, please read the department's guide. Do not forget to use citations in your paper (Department of Political Science Style Guide). Papers or reports that are not in the right format will be substantially penalized in their grade assessment.

Any students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course are encouraged to speak with the instructor as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements. This publication will be made available in alternative formats upon request.
