GRADING:
Accommodations: If you have a disability that may impact your academic performance, you should request accommodations by submitting documentation to the Student Support Services Office located in Albany 206 (503-768-7156).  Once that office notifies me of the accommodations for which you are eligible we can meet to decide how best to proceed.  You should begin this process as soon as possible.

Academic Integrity: According to the Lewis & Clark College 's Academic Integrity Policy:

Acts of academic dishonesty involve the use or attempted use of any method or technique enabling a student to misrepresent the quality or integrity of his or her academic work. Academic dishonesty with respect to examinations includes but is not limited to copying from the work of another, allowing another student to copy from one's own work, using crib notes, arranging for another person to substitute in taking an examination, or giving or receiving unauthorized information prior to or during the examination. Academic dishonesty with respect to written or other types of assignments includes but is not limited to: failure to acknowledge the ideas or words of another that have consciously been taken from a source, published or unpublished; placing one's name on papers, reports, or other documents that are the work of another individual, whether published or unpublished; flagrant misuse of the assistance provided by another in the process of completing academic work; submission of the same paper or project for separate courses without prior authorization by faculty members; fabrication or alteration of data; or knowingly facilitating the academic dishonesty of another.

Please be aware, the penalties for violating this policy are severe. Ignorance is no excuse.

Your final grade in international economics will be based on the following three factors:

1. Your attendance and participation (15%).  Attendance is required; missed classes will lower your grade.  Required readings must be completed before the class session for which they are assigned.  You are expected to contribute to class discussion.

2. The quality of your notebook writings (20%).  You will be required to do a series of short writing assignments (normally from one to five pages each) that must be kept in a separate notebook.  Some writings may take place in class. Some may be shared with other students. Late assignments will be penalized with a reduced grade.  While individual assignments may be checked and graded at the time they are turned in, your complete notebook of assignments will be turned in the last day of class and will receive an overall grade.

3. The quality of your in-class midterm (35%) and take-home final (30%).
