General Overview of Course Assignments Exams: There will be two in-class exams. Dates are given in the class schedule. Exams will consist of "objective" questions (i.e. multiple choice, fill in the blank, identification) and short essay questions. Ample instruction will be given on what to expect on the exams. In-class Writing Assignments: On two occasions, you will be expected to come to class prepared to write an in-class essay. One of the essays will be on Beals, Warriors Don't Cry and the other on Malcom X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Term Project: At the end of the semester, you and a partner will be expected to present a short powerpoint presentation on a theme you have identified as a neglected chapter of African American history. Participation: You are expected to come to class prepared to talk about the assigned reading. When necessary, students will be called on at random. Term Project (20% of course grade) Near the end of the semester, you and a partner will be expected to present an oral presentation on a topic of your choice.
