Method of Evaluation:
40%: Exams. Students will take the mid-term
exam in the Testing Center in the middle of the semester and the final
exam in the classroom.
30%: Response papers. Using the response paper topics listed in Weekly Assignments, write a one page typed response. The grade will be based on the thoughtfulness of the response; the response paper must be in my hands before we discuss the particular topic; in other words, I want you to read the material assigned and respond to the topic question before we discuss it in class; therefore, I will not accept any late response papers, but students may skip any two response papers, or email them to me if you are going to be absent.
Response papers are graded for content not form, so you don't need a formal organization. I will not grade off for grammar on these. Length should be one page. Response papers with the grade of 90 and above will have quotations as well as a good response to the question; 85, good response but no quotations; 80, thoughtful response but the student is not reading the text well; 70 and above, skimpy responses that are off the mark.
40% Essays: 2 essays, typed, 3-5 pages in length
Late essays: C is the highest grade you can earn on a late essay; I will not accept an essay more than 2 days late no matter what the excuse, unless you make arrangements with me in advance. I will not accept any late writing exercises/journals.
Grading checklist: I use this checklist to grade your essays. If you do not follow the thesis/topic sentence organization you cannot make higher than a C on an essay. Also, if you have too many grammatical errors, you cannot make higher than a C.
Drop date: If you are unable to complete this course, you must withdraw from the class by the drop date. Withdrawing from a course is a formal procedure which you must initiate. I cannot do it for you. You may do this in Admissions or Counseling. If you stop attending and do not withdraw you will receive an "F" on your permanent record.
