6. Assignments

There are 1200 points of work in the class.

• Participation Portfolios (300 points)
• Exercises (350) points)
• Forum Presentations (200)
  
• Formal Papers (350 points)

There is no final exam.

I will grade on a four-point scale. If an assignment, such as an exercise, is worth 50 points, and you earn 40, that's a high B.  If you earn a 25, that's a C.

If, at the end of the class, you have earned 75% of the possible points, (about 1000), then your base grade will be a B. I might bump that grade up or down a little, based on your participation grade.
