We will examine the questions raised, theories offered and the real world implications of our quest to understand the origin and the potential of the human mind. The strategy we will use to explore the topic of the human mind will consist of activities designed to find the latest and best thinking on a variety of important questions. Text-based resources are available in the classroom and titles are listed. However, it is essential for you to consider the Library and the Internet as extensions of the classroom. Menu Evaluation You will be graded each marking period based on the percentage of available points earned.
Points accumulate over the three marking periods.
Your final grade will be determined by the percentage of total points earned over the entire semester. Points are earned by the successful completion of journal assignments, individual and group research quests, projects and presentations. Bonus points are available through effective class participation and your willingness to seek and share related materials with the class. Point value for other activities will be negotiated as needed. Menu Position Paper Position papers demonstrate to me that you have done a significant amount of high level thinking on a specific aspect of our theme and that you can support and organize your thoughts in a clear, coherent manner.
