account for 60% of the student’s final course grade. The remaining 10% of the student’s final grade will come from participation
in class discussions, demonstrations and group meetings (see class attendance below).
Course Policies
Make-up exams
Make-up exams are available in All Essay form; short answer questions will cover the same material as the regular exam but in
greater depth. Arrangements for a make-up exam must be made PRIOR to the regularly scheduled exam.
Extra Credit
Extra Credit will be made available over the course of class meetings wherever an opportunity arises to boost motivation and
enthusiasm. This is an incentive to show up to class!
Late Work
10 points will be taken off an assignment grade for each class meeting the work is not turned in. Work must be turned in at the
beginning of the class period to avoid penalty. For example, if a student fails to turn in the Final Individual Paper by the beginning
of class Wednesday night at 7pm on November 22, then 10 points will be taken off the paper. If the paper is turned in on or
before the beginning of Exam 2, Wednesday night at 7pm on November 29, no additional points will be subtracted. However, if
the paper is turned in after the beginning of class, an additional 10 points (total of 20 points) will be subtracted from the paper.
Class Attendance
Attendance is an essential part of participation and will be taken each class meeting in the form of a short quiz on the readings
and discussion from the previous class. The total points of these quizzes plus the evaluation of the student’s fellow group
members and the instructor’s evaluation as to the student’s group and class participation will account for 10% of the final course
grade. See Extra Credit above for additional incentive to come to class!
