Evaluation
Because everyone comes to this course with differing levels of experience,
evaluation will be holistic to take into account individual improvement.
You will meet with me at midterm for a personal portfolio review
that will be an opportunity for us to candidly address how the class
has been going and to get a cumulative grade based on work completed
so far.
You can earn up to 1000 points over the course of the
semester; the final grading scale is based on a 100-point increment
scale (A=900, B=800, etc.). The breakdown of the points is as follows:
Project 1: 150 pts
Project 2: 200 pts
Final Project: 300 pts
100 pts
for product + 100 pts for process + 100 pts for your role
Technical Homework: 8 @ 15 pts = 120 pts
Reading Responses: 10 @ 10 pts = 100 pts
Creative Notebook: 10 @ 5 pts + up to 30 pts for exceptional work
= 80 pts
Participation: 50 pts
In addition to extra credit for attending a second field
trip, other
opportunities may offered from time to time for films or lectures
related to course themes.
Accommodations
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act and SIUC’s longstanding
commitment to equal opportunity for students with disabilities, I am
committed to making reasonable accommodations to help all students
succeed in this course. Please contact me in the first two weeks
of the semester if you anticipate needing assistive technology, additional
time, or other forms of support, and I will be more than happy to work
something out. If your circumstances change during the course
of the semester, please let me know as soon as possible so alternate
accommodations can be arranged. I also encourage everyone to
take advantage of SIUC’s various student support services, including
the Writing Center, Disability Support Services, and the Counseling
Center, and occasionally I recommend students who seem to be having
trouble in class pay one of these offices a visit. |
