This goal will be achieved through in-class writing, group discussion, tasks and preparation of four self exploration assignments. Grades will be determined through a point system. Points will be awarded for attendance, quizzes, study questions, inside writing, papers and the final examination. Grades will be based on the percentage of points earned. You may inquire about your points at any time and you will receive a copy of your course record at midquarter.
Regular attendance is important for success in most college courses.
Faculty measure attendance directly or indirectly through testing on material that is only presented in class. Since class time will be used more for discussion than the presentation of new material I will take attendance directly. Missing a day or two will not have a noticeable impact on your grade. If you anticipate problems with regular attendance you may wish to consider registering for a course through Independent Study. Study questions direct your attention to the main points in the reading.
