The professor will award participation points to individual students during the course of the semester. The syllabus reads that participation points may total 100, but in most cases the highest total students' points will be less than 100. Suppose the highest participation points are 65 and you have 55 points. Participation points can be awarded for good and relevant discussion, brief presentations, informal team activities, brief written assignments, and other activities. Positive or negative peer evaluations will result in grade adjustments.
Unsatisfactory evaluations can result in assignment or course failure.
Superior evaluations can result in one-half to one letter grade higher for an individual for the totaled grades. Teams selecting more than two individuals for superior performance will not be considered. The number of points awarded will vary from quiz to quiz and will become a part of the overall participation points score. Students will research the use of the World Wide Web as a promotion tool. This syllabus is designed to give you an overview of the course.
