4. COURSE STRUCTURE 1. There will be four hourly exams, plus a cumulative final exam. The best four of these five exams will contribute to your final grade. 2. If you have taken all four of the hourly exams, the final is optional. If you have missed one of the hourly exams, the final will serve as your make-up exam. 3. All students must prepare and present an oral presentation to the class on a topic of choice. Students will work on these presentations in groups of four. 4. Attendance is required, because class participation is vital to the success of this class. Much of the class will be devoted to discussion among students on topics presented by the instructor. 5.
