• Each student will be assigned one to two readings and asked to present a power point presentation to the class on the reading.  
• Each instructor will formulate an exam question that addresses key points of their lecture. This question will be given to students in the form of a take home exam.  These exams should be returned within two weeks of the assignment as an attachment to email addressed to rjmartin@lsu.edu.  Dr. Martin will make a clear distinction between work that must be your own and work that may be shared.
   

• The take home exam will make up 40% of the grade;
• Class participation will make up 10% of the grade (1% for every question asked up to ten);
• Student presentations will make up 50% of the grade.
