Office Hours ___________________

During this semester four (4) major areas will be discussed- stress, nutrition/weight control, drugs and sex. Almost every day there will be in-class writing- some which will be turned in for grades/finished out of class, others which will be shared with class members and/or discussed with each worth 10 points. You will need only a notebook for the class.

For each of the above mentioned areas, you will read an article from the current popular media, write a 1 page review and orally report on it. The emphasis of the article is on how the information relates to you. Each worth 20 points.

NOTE: All out of class assignments are to be typewritten, double spaced and due on assignment dates. ANY CLASS WRITING YOU MISS CANNOT BE MADE UP! NO EXCUSES!!!!!

Grade are based on your doing the assignments. Since most assignments are in class activities, you attendance has a major influence upon your grade.

Total class points will be equal to approximately 250, based on the out of class and in-class writing activities, as well as the oral reading reviews and the final exam.

I look forward to hearing from you in both written and oral forms.
