- In-class work and participation
- Much of the work we do for this class will occur during our class time. We will do small collaborative exercises, have discussions, and conduct "labs" that focus on various skills and techniques. To do well on this portion of your grade, you must arrive on time, participate in activities and discussions, and generally be an active, engaged student.
- Reading Responses:
- Because many of the readings for this course are challenging, I ask you to write about each of them before we meet in class to discuss them. After you have completed the reading, you should type up your answers to the response questions I have provided. To get full credit, follow the directions on the reading response guide and turn in your response on the OASIS forums. Please type your comments and then cut-and-paste them into the forum text box.
- Projects:
- See the course projects page for details and descriptions of our projects.
