Grading

Grading your Blog Assignments:

Blog assignments are due midnight Monday or Wednesday (see course calendar). There is NO late work accepted. Comments to Section Readings or other activities are worth 10 points; Comments to Topical Blogs are worth 20 points. 20 point assignments should necessarily be longer and more in-depth than 10 point assignments. 10 point assignments should be about 400-500 words, and 20 point assignments should be about 800-1000 words.

On-line students will be required to respond to the question boxes included in the text. These will count as 10 point assignments.

Hybrid students will be required to attend class weekly. Attendance is worth 10 points.
