Grading

The guideline for computing the final grade is:

· 10% class participation

· 30% class presentations

· 60% project

Class presentations. Students may present two or more papers during the semester: the best two will be factored into the final grade. Full credit will be given to presentations that crisply hit the main ideas of the paper and that compare those with relevant points in other papers on the topic.

Late Work. Late project deliverables will be penalized by subtracting 10% to the individual grade for each day late. Class presentation dates will assigned early in the semester, and may be adjusted if the student has a conflict, but no changes will be accommodated less than two weeks of the scheduled date.

Incomplete Grades. No incomplete grades will be given.
