Some weeks may take more time, others less. Discussion participation and grading of discussion are described below. The tests will be conducted at mid-term and on the final exam day. All grading is based on the assumption that average work is equal to a grade of about 80 on a scale of 0 to 100. Higher grades require evidence of an above average understanding of the material, and an above average application of the materials to social issues.
Grades are available online as they are generated.
All papers and discussion receive numeric or letter grades that are on a scale of 0 to 100. The course grade is the weighted average of all grades. The ID should be 5 letters and or characters, should not include your SSN, and should not identify you to anyone other than yourself. If you feel intimidated by any of the course requirements, come and talk to me about it. If there is any problem with coming to my office, send me email or leave me a message.
