Grading

Your grade will come from the following sources:

• Attendance, participation, and in-class responses: 30%
  • Any student missing 5 or more classes will receive a zero for this score.
  • In-class responses may not be made up; if you miss a class with a response, you receive a zero for the day. Your two lowest in-class scores are dropped.
• Written work: 15%
• First Midterm: 15%
• Second Midterm: 15%
• Final: 25%

The end of this syllabus includes a longer description of what sort of work will receive an “A,” a “B,” and so forth.
