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discretion of the instructor if the student will be withdrawn from the class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
- Final drafts must be double-spaced with one-inch margins.
- Use a 12-point font. Times Roman.
- Place your name, section number, genre, and date at the top of the first page—no cover sheet is necessary.
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 are 100.
So, if students receive
90-100 points, they earn an A.
If students receive 80-89
points, they earn a B.
If students receive 70-79
points, they earn a C.
If students receive 60-69
points, they earn a D.
If students receive less
than 60 points, they earn an F.
