Evaluation
You can earn up to 100 points over
the course of the semester; the final grading scale is based on a 10-point
increment scale (A=90, B=80, etc.). The breakdown for the points
follows:
Projects 1-3: 10 points each (30 total)
Final Project: 15 points
Podcast Report: 10 points
Midterm: 10 points
Wiki: 10 points
Position Papers: 5 each (10 total)
Participation: 15 points
Informal, ungraded homework assignments at times will be necessary
in order to participate in in-class demonstrations. Failure
to complete these assignments will negatively affect your overall participation
grade. You will receive a point score and oral and written feedback
for each project, and I will give out a cumulative midterm grade on
October 17. While I make every effort to be aware of students’ needs
and concerns, I am not a mind reader: please come to my office with
questions and concerns about your performance or the class in general
promptly enough so that we can address the problem. |
