| Grading: | The grade will be based entirely on a 10-15 page paper to be submitted at the end of the course. I will suggest paper topics throughout the quarter. If you have a favorite topic that you would like to write your paper on, come talk to me about it so I can judge if it is appropriate for this course. |
| Communication: |
Most communication about the course will take place in Zulip; Zulip includes both a general discussion forum, available to all students, and one-on-one direct messages. Once you have joined, please use PMs instead of email for questions about the course; I may not answer emails. All course communication is subject to UCSD's academic integrity and harassment policies. |
