One-page section syllabus—short but sweet example that underscores the need to participate in section. Headings are "Purpose," "Preparation" (including responding via email to pre-meeting discussion questions), "Punctuality," "Grading" (provides mandate for shy students to speak up and for the verbose to shut up—but politely), "Additional requirement" (requires students to meet with the TA during office hours), "Written Work," (sets high standards for writing, provides info about the History Writing Center), "Drafts" (deadline for accepting them), and "Late Penalties" (hefty: 0.5 per day).
