Attendance
Policy:
Class attendance is expected in
accordance with the current college catalog. Excessive
unexcused absences may result in
withdrawal from the course or a lower grade.
.
** It will be solely at the discretion
of the instructor if the student will be withdrawn from the class based on the
circumstances surrounding the absences. **
Note
In the event of an instructor absence, the class
will meet virtually and complete assignments provided on the class blog. Please check your e-mail and our class blog
prior to each class period to ensure you are prepared for class.
Paper Format Guidelines:
- Final drafts should be typed or computer printed. If you do not have a computer at home, try the Computer Commons in the lower level of the library.
- Final drafts must be double-spaced with one-inch margins.
- Use a 12-point font – no script or other fancy stuff. Times Roman is a safe bet.
- Place your name, section number, genre, and date at the top of the first page—no cover sheet is necessary.
- We’ll use MLA format in this class.
Grading:
Grades are based on a
portfolio system. At the end of the
course, students will meet with the instructor to review the assigned essays
and the final project in portfolio form.
The portfolio consists of work you complete in and out of class,
including drafts, essays, journals, notes, and other marginalia. When you meet with the instructor, the
instructor will review your portfolio and assign a grade based on the portfolio
rubric.
Each essay and the final
project are worth 20 points. The total
possible points in class equal 100.
So, if students earn
90-100 points, they earn an A.
80-89 points = B
70-79 points = C
60-69 points = D
<60 = F.
Grades:
A—Excellent
N—Audit
B—Above Average
P—Pass
C—Average
Z—No Credit
D—Passing
I—Incomplete
F—Failure
W—Withdrawn/Passing
Y—Withdrawn/Failing
