Each scholarly article summary is worth two percentage points and may be provided jointly by two class members. Full credit will not be earned for summaries that are sloppy or superficial i.e., written summaries should not have typos, misspelled words, or incorrect grammar, and oral summaries should be polished and reflect advance preparation. Students who engage in a group project will automatically receive credit for this portion of the grade. Participation minimally requires you to come to class regularly and prepared. It is expected that you will read and reflect upon the assigned material and that you will complete any assignments designed to help you to prepare for class discussions.
Quality takes precedence over quantity.
Note that asking questions also counts as participation. Additional participation credit can be earned by engaging in class activities, such as case studies and article analyses. Do not expect to receive full participation credit if you miss more than three classes during the semester. Group projects are optional. Groups should have no more than five people in them.
