The Four Quizzes (each worth 25% of your final grade) will be composed of true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions drawn from both the readings and class discussions.

I will give no make up examinations without a written excuse from your academic dean.  If you are an athlete, I expect to be notified immediately of your schedule and potential conflicts.

You will do well in this class if:

• you come to class
• you come to class already having done the readings
• you get involved in applying the readings to your own consumption of popular culture
• you ask questions and train yourself to think critically
