There are three scheduled quizzes during the semester and you will write a paper or make a presentation on a subject of your choice. We will spend a good part of the course on student presentations. These have proven to be very popular with the students.
Above are links to help you with the quizzes and to help you with ideas about your paper or presentation. Also, look for additional readings that might be assigned. Under the link "More Learning" are a number of links to resources to help you better understand this subject.
