Grading Your final grade in this course will depend on your work on the research paper, tests, short papers, the final exam, oral presentation, and contributions to class. Because you will be writing every week and because one week s work often leads to the next week s assignment, you cannot afford to fall behind. For that reason, late papers will be accepted only in exceptional cases and only if you have secured my approval for an extension beforehand. If you are given an extension, you will need to give me a brief memo on the due date reminding me of our agreement and your revised due date. Attendance This course includes discussion, collaborative work, and in-class exercises.
Regular attendance is therefore essential.
If you miss class for any reason, you are responsible for finding out what you missed. If you miss more than four classes, your grade in the course may be lowered. Written work due that day must be submitted to me prior to class. Work done in class must be made up by the second class following the event.
