“No Show” Status Class attendance is required beginning with the first class meeting. If you do not attend the first week’s class meetings, you will be withdrawn from the class as a “no show.” If you are withdrawn as a “no show,” you will be financially responsible for the class and a final grade of “WN” will appear on your transcript for the course. III. STUDENT SUCCESS INFORMATION Grading Scale The grading scale for the course. A = 88-100% B = 78-87.99% C = 68-77.99% D = 58-67.99% F = <58% *Grades are final. There is no rounding up. Final grades will be determined using the following point distribution: Coursework (Pre-Class Assignment, In Class Quizzes) - 25% Paper #1 – 20% Research Paper – 20% Final Project - 20% In Class Presentations (2 of them) – 10% Attendance - 5% Course Assignments Papers = 40% As this is a Gordon Rule Writing class, students will be expected to produce original, polished writings on course materials. This grade will be split into two pieces: a first paper and a researched position paper. More details will follow on the nature of these assignments. Coursework = 25% A good portion of your grade will come from the work you do in preparation for each class meeting. Interdisciplinary classes are structured as primarily active learning experiences. This means what you bring to class in terms of preparation affects the experience of your peers as well. The best way to prepare yourself for class is to do the assigned readings and answer the learning outcomes posted for each class meeting and/or week. You can expect to complete at least one assignment before or during each class meeting. These assignment include in-class quizzes, questions to answer or prepare as homework, journals, or in discussion posts in which you interact with your peers. If there is not a formal assignment given for a particular day, assume a thorough reading and understanding of the learning outcomes for that class meeting are expected so that you will be prepared for class discussion and activities. All coursework assignments are worth 10 points each. More details will follow. Presentation = 10% Each student will be graded on two in-class presentations. Presentations are brief individual or (more often) group assignments in which students lead the class, presenting novel material to their classmates and instructors. The presentation will focus on one or more of our course texts. More details will follow. Final Project = 20%
