The requirements for students taking the course for credit include a
term paper (5-8 pages; 2,000 words approx., worth about 40X), several
in-class quizzes on reading material, about 30%, and presentations to
the class, worth about 30% of the final grade.
The course will be of particular interest to students with some
teaching or other experience in schools; it is also a useful
preparatory course for graduate work in educational administration.
