Exams:
We will have a very short evaluation every other week. Evaluation day is normally Wednesday. Those grades will together represent 40% of your final grade. The final exam will also be 30% of your grade. Another 20% will come from numerous short reading checks. You should expect a lot of these (between 1 and 3 a week). A final 10% will come from a critical review of either a web site or a book appropriate to the subject matter of the course (note this can include novels, but please check with me in advance). I will also reward you for class participation (but not detract for shyness). There will be a makeup available for each of the biweekly quizzes, but you must have a valid excuse to take it. I will allow you to retake one failed quiz by doing the makeup -- but only if you took the main version -- you may not make up a failed makeup. No make-ups will be available for the reading checks, but with a valid excuse I will not average in a 0 for that grade.This class will expect you to be computer literate. There may be materials 'on line' that I want you to use, and we will spend some time early in the semester learning to use them if necessary. You will each need an e-mail account.
The web/book site review is short (around 3 pages). We will be talking about this more in class.
