All assignments are marked on a standard four-point scale.

Thus, if a particular exercise is worth 8% of your final grade, and I mark a "3.5" on it, don't panic -- you got a 3.5 out of 4, not a 3.5 out of 8.

When submitting exercises or major papers, your submission must include a printout from Turnitin.com, as well as a "submission note" (We will go over this very clearly in class.)

Exercises (15%)
Participation & Quizzes (15%)
Portfolios (15%) -- Reflective assessment of online activity.
Papers (30%) -- Two papers, completed in several stages.
Exams (25%)

Note: If you ever feel you want more rapid or more detailed feedback on an assignment, regardless of whether it was late or on time, make an appointment with me during my office hours, and I will go over the work with you in detail.
