Objectives: To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone
before ... at UCSD, maybe.
Boobs: Available at Price Center and at Mysterious Galaxy, the genre both store at 5943
Balboa Ave.
Requirements: A take-home midterm test and an in-class final (non-cumulative) on the
readings and lectures. Two short critical papers (1500 words each)the first due at midterm,
the second during finals. Under certain specific circumstances, with instructor approval, a single
long project will be permitted, due on the last day of instruction. Assignment details will be
handed out later in class, but will be available sooner on the website. Each test counts for 25%
of your course grade, each paper 25%, although some preference will be given to final papers
that show improvement.
Grading standards: A =100-95%, A- = 94-90%, B+ = 89-85%, B = 84-80%, etc. Given the size
of the class, there will be relatively few final A's, though plenty of A-minuses and B-pluses. You
may also earn a C if you work at it. I will do what I can to increase the number of A's, but I will
need your collaboration. If you consider yourself a weak writer or don't think you can keep up
with the reading, you might consider the P/NP option.
