Most of the activities in this course involve both collaboration and independent work. Students are expected to do their fair share of group projects. However, people may not collaborate on quizzes, exams, or on any assignment that is designated as an individual project. Independent reading of the text is important because lecturing will be kept to a minimum and class periods will frequently be devoted to group work in the Symonds Lab. back to top Attendance Class attendance and participation are considered important because groups with missing members cannot be as productive as others. Absences will reduce the course grade.
Consultants turn in a report after each meeting, whether that meeting is on-line or in person.
Meetings are graded. Consultants are experienced students who have taken a course in working with other student writers and presenters. In all, you will have a minimum of 5 meetings with your consultant. Students in Section 3 meet with consultants on Sunday evenings unless such meetings are a hardship. One theme in the semester will be about this experience.
