Course Syllabus

With their respective weights between parentheses, the three grade categories for this course are PARTICIPATION (20%), HOMEWORK (40%), and TESTS (40%). Each "assignment" is equally weighted within its grade category. There are two assignments associated with the PARTICIPATION grade: Arkaive enrollment and Canvas profile and "Attendance" (which includes a percentage score based on the Arkaive record and a self evaluation of participation in group assignments). The scores for the first of the these will be entered shortly after the due date. The scores for the latter two will be entered only at the end of the quarter. There will be 5 assignments in the HOMEWORK category, some of which will use Google Docs and others of which will use the Canvas Quizzes module. There are two items in the TESTS category, a Midterm and a Final. These will both be online assignments presented in Quizzes. They will be available for several days and will not be timed.

The Total course score calculated by Canvas will be converted to a letter grade as follows:
