Student Evaluation and Grading
Student evaluation and assessment for grading purposes will be divided among the assignments. Please note that the degree and quality of personal involvement in and contributions to team projects, group discussion, etc. will have a significant impact on final grades. Obviously, what you learn and retain from this course largely is dependent upon you: your thoughtful and deep attention to the readings, learning tasks, as well as are the graded and non-graded assignments. Please see grading scale for my classes.
Each of the six (6) Learning Modules contains a variety of assignments to facilitate your understanding of the material covered in the module. Specific instructions for each assignment will be given in the appropriate unit. Students are invited to supplement assigned readings with relevant scholarly articles found on the Web, in the UT Library Online, in textbooks, or in journals. Please feel free to share with the class any particularly relevant articles you locate.
Assignments and discussion dates are on the schedule.
Specific graded assignments and their value follow:
