Course Policies
Evaluations:
Lecture -
Your grade will primarily be based on a variety of assignments and class participation. The assignments will be discussed in class and you will accumulate these in a formal portfolio. You will then turn-in your portfolio several times (3-5) throughout the semester for evaluation. We may also utilize some form of peer-evaluation of portfolios.
Attendance:
egular attendance is expected. The portfolio assignments will be based on presentations that will occur during assigned class times; therefore, missed classes will likely preclude you from completing the assignments.
Tardiness:
Persistent tardiness is distracting to both your instructor and fellow classmates, please make every effort to arrive at all class meetings on time.
