Because this is a writing emphasis course, your written assignments will be evaluated both on content and quality of writing. In addition to the content, therefore, your grades will be based on the organization and development of ideas, clarity of expression, coherence between sentences and paragraphs, and proper use of English. Evaluations of writing proficiency will include a visit to the Writing Center. There will be two exams based upon readings, class discussions, films and speakers. These exams will be comprised of multiple choice, fill in, and essay questions.
All material covered in class and in the readings are fair game for the exams.
Approximately one week prior to each exam, the class will be able to access study questions from my website. Each student will be required to complete a project from the project guidelines list. The final project will be presented in a poster session. A preliminary outline will be required before commencing the project. Guidelines will be forthcoming.
