On call assignments
In order to assure everyone opportunities for meaningful classroom participation, I will generally make "on call" assignments 6 or 7 days before the class meeting at which I hope to reach your topic.
If you are assigned to present a case you should be prepared to summarize and defend the argument. If there is a dissent and you are assigned the dissent you should be prepared to summarize and defend the argument of the dissenter.
