本课程属于人文艺术社会科学推广课程（HASS-D），亦为强化沟通能力课程（CI），因此你必须缴交三份报告，总计至少20页，也就是每份报告需有6至8页（约2000字）。前两份报告必须依所得到的评语修改后缴交。初稿缴交一周后会发回，再一周后必须交出修正稿。修正稿必须针对评论意见予以回应，回应的程度将影响修正稿得到的评价。（假设你的初稿得到B+，但改写时未回应评论意见，修正稿可能会得到B-或C的分数。）至于第三份报告，是否缴交修正稿可以自由选择。决定要交修正稿的同学，必须和教学助理讨论时间上的安排。迟交报告或额外缴交修正稿之情形（有些同学希望多交修正稿可以提高分数），处理方式由教学助理决定。

报告题目，及报告 写作指南 ，请见 “作业” 区。写作第一份报告前，务必详阅写作指南。

本课程无期末考试。

本课程属于强化沟通能力课程（CI），修毕并获得B以上分数者，视为通过写作必修第一级。

计算方式
报告占总成绩的80%，前两份报告各依初稿和修正稿之分数加权计算，修正稿之比重为初稿两倍。其余20%为发表课的讨论表现（即课程中口语表达的部分），因此我们会期望学生按时出席发表课，固定参与讨论，并有积极的表现。不得以其它书面作业代替讨论活动。助理会在期中公布讨论表现的初步分数。

教学助理将负责报告的评分。若对评分的公正性有任何意见，请马上与我联络。在这门课上特别重视的，就是没有学生会因为自己的观点而承受─或觉得受到删除不利的后果。

未修毕
想要申请“未修毕”，必须已完成两份报告（包含修正稿）。这只是必要条件，而非充分条件。我会衡量整体表现来决定是否接受申请。在此要强调的是，“未修毕”资格一定要经过申请，并且是向我申请，而不是向助理。如有作业缺缴又未申请“未修毕”者，将评为不及格。

抄袭行为
以下两种情形构成抄袭，一概不允许。其一，引用文字未加引号构成抄袭。如果你由其它来源引用文字，只加脚注是不足的，一定要加上引号。此外，不要引用经过改写的文句，即使距原意不远。此种引用不论是以加引号之方式，或用自己的话表达重点都不可以。其二，如果你的看法是参考其它资料得来，务必在注脚中列出资料来源，否则为抄袭。抄袭将受到处罚，视严重程度而定，轻则扣分，重则给予不及格之处分。

Texts

• Friedman, Milton. Capitalism and Freedom. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1982.
• Nozick, Robert. Anarchy, State, and Utopia. New York: Basic Books, 1977.
• Rawls, John. A Theory of Justice. Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press, 1999.

This course is a HASS-D and a Communication Intensive (CI) subject. So you must write at least 20 pages, divided among three papers,which are to be 6-8 pages (roughly 2000 words) each. You must also rewrite these first two papers in light of the comments you receive on them. You will get the papers back one week after they have been handed in, and must submit your rewrite one week later. The rewrite needs to be responsive to the comments on the first version, and the evaluation of the rewrite will be based inpart on how well you respond. (So if you get a B+ on the first draft, and do notrevise in light of comments, you may end up with a B- or C on the rewrite.) On the third paper, the rewrite is optional. If you plan to do rewrite, you must make an arrangement with your TA on timing. Policies on late papers and on additional rewrites beyond those mandated by the requirements (rewrites undertaken with the intention to improve a grade) will be set by your teaching assistant.

You will find paper topics, and some rules of thumb for writing papers in the assignments section. Be sure to review the Rules before writing the first paper.

There is no final examination.

Because this is a CI course, you will automatically pass Phase 1 of the Writing Requirement if you receive a grade of B or better.

Grading
The papers count for 80% of the final grade. Your grade on each of the first two papers will be a weighted combination of the grades on the original and the rewrite, with the rewrite counting twice as much as the original. The other 20% of the grade will be based on your contribution to discussion in the recitation sections (the oral communication part of the course). To meet this requirement, you are expected to attend the recitations regularly, and participate regularly and constructively in discussion. You cannot substitute additional written work in place of this requirement. Your TA will give you a mid-semester, preliminary grade on your contribution to discussion.

The teaching assistants will grade your papers. Should you have any question about the fairness of a grade, bring the matter to my attention right away. It is especially important in this course that students not be penalized-or even think they are being penalized-for the content of their views.

Incompletes
You can get an Incomplete only if you have completed two papers, including the rewrites. These conditions are necessary, not sufficient, for an incomplete. I will decide requests for Incompletes on their merits. I want to underscore that you must request an incomplete, and that requests are to come to me, not to the TAs. Students who do not hand in all the work and do not request an Incomplete will receive an F.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism comes in two forms, both unacceptable. First, you plagiarize when you use the words of a source without quotation marks. If you take words from a source, you must use quotation marks, not just a footnote. Moreover, you should not present a close paraphrase from a source: either use the exact words with quotation marks, or put the point in your own words. Second, you plagiarize if you take ideas from a source without footnoting the source. Sanctions for plagiarism depend on its severity, and may range from lower grades on an assignment to a failing grade for the course.
