There are 12 in-class points listed on the syllabus, which will function as your participation grade. To earn your point for the day, you just have to do whatever is being worked on to the best of your ability. This will include in-class reading and annotation, writing, group work, activities, exercises, and discussion. If you don’t complete any part of the work we do in class then you won’t get points for that day. If the activity is a discussion, you need to participate in that discussion. Participation: Your in-class points will function in place of a participation grade. However, up to 5 points can be deducted from the in-class grade for notable issues of non-participation or distraction, to be determined at my discretion. Examples include (but are not limited to) disrupting class, talking to other students during lecture, sleeping, and demonstrating a disrespectful or overtly negative attitude. Peer Review: Peer editing and rough drafts will be a part of your grade. You will be asked to make thoughtful, productive, and critical comments on the writing of others while your work is looked at by your classmates. We will go over the guidelines for peer editing in class and you will receive a grade for rough drafts. You will have the opportunity to re-write these drafts for a final grade on the assignment. Save all of your work and be prepared to revise it.
