While reading through the syllabus as few questions did come to mind. first, will there be any quizzes or tests aside from the essay assignments? Second, will the grading of our assignments be based on grammar and punctuation as well? and lastly, will we have to submit outlines of our essays before submission?

i also noticed the readings lean towards current events, and would bring up interesting conversations in the discussions.  considering what has been going on these past few months it would be nice to here multiple perspectives.
