Homework and quizzes:: I will regularly assign readings and short writing assignments as homework. Make sure you do the homework for every class. Not only will this help your grade, it will insure that you get the most from our in-class work.
Reading Responses, other Hand-ins:: When we do readings for this class, I will usually ask you to write a short response to the readings. These responses guide your reflection on the reading and prepare you for discussion or other class activities. All responses and other hand-ins are due at the beginning of class.
Responses and other short writings are generally worth 5 – 10 points
Quizzes:: On the occasions that I hold quizzes, I hold them at the beginning of class. This means that if you're late, you will miss the quiz and receive a zero. Only people who have excused absences will be allowed to make up quizzes.
Quizzes are generally worth 5-10 points.
Grammar Panels:: Each band will be required to do two presentations each semester. These presentations will focus on different sections of the Writer's Resource, our grammar and style handbook. Refer to appendix B for details.
Presentations are generally worth 50 points each.
Peer Review:: Peer Review plays a key role in our coursework. The more effort you make to return thorough, careful reviews to your peers, the more beneficial the process will be for everyone.
Peer Review is worth 25 points per project.
Projects:: See OASIS handouts section for paper grading standards.
See grading breakdown (above) for project point-values.
