Course Participation Bonus

Beneficial contribution to the class dialectic will be treated as follows. Consistent participation in class discussion is assumed, at the Instructor's discretionary judgement.

Full attendance:
  1. For the Final Paper, rounding up to the next letter grade where percentage is within five points. (E.g. Final paper is 85.5 %: grade assigned is 90%.)
  2. For the Group Critical Theory assignment, eliminating the lowest grade of the three presentations and scaling the remaining two for the fifteen percent component of the course grade.
One class absence:

  1. For the Final Paper, rounding up to the next letter grade where percentage is within one point. (E.g. Final paper is 89.0 %: grade assigned is 90%.)
  2. For the Group Critical Theory assignment, adding five percent the lowest grade of the three presentations.

Two class absences:

  1. For the Final Paper, rounding up to the next letter grade where percentage is within one point. (E.g. Final paper is 89.0 %: grade assigned is 90%.)
