The Beginning of the List

Here's what I have at this time.

° Mission Statement: "There is no reason you shouldn't be able to pass this class." But not necessarily because the tests are easy or the material is basic.
° Create simple slides (less than 3 elements per slide)
° TEXTBOOK OPTIONAL. All pertinent information will be in lectures or the occasional reading, to be uploaded or found online (no more than 15 pages if possible).
° Tests and quizzes will be strictly lecture-oriented.
° Class input encouraged whenever discussion would be beneficial.
° Offer optional quizzes after each chapter/section for extra credit.
° Organize class material with a building-block paradigm.
° Provide plenty of interesting, extra-curricular (optional) links/activities to enhance understanding or interest in the topic.
° NO HOMEWORK. Minimal paper-writing.
° Explore the idea of pod-casting lectures, and whether it would enhance understanding or simply cause low or nonexistent attendance. Maybe offer by specific request.
