Set an upper limit of two written pages per answer. Most questions can be answered with a minimum of verbiage. I grade for correctness, completeness, organization, and insight. Each answer is graded separately, and all are then averaged for a lesson grade. Answers are correct, complete, and show either exceptional understanding or insight into the question.
Answers are correct and complete.
Allows for minor errors, omission of information. If you have a special topic you wish to write on for one of the lessons or final exam questions, please write to me, giving any references you plan to use. Text and reprint bibliographies will provide you with some sources, and I can suggest others. Don t neglect your current knowledge of Indians if you live in the Pacific Northwest you will find references to Indians in the media and may even have first-hand knowledge. When your assignments are returned to you, save them so that they will be readily accessible when you review for your final exam.
