Professor Flack's Grading Policies
ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING
Grading Scale I follow the college-wide grading scale. Pluses or minuses are not given on final course grades, though I will use them in evaluating your assignments for this course. A passing grade is a C or better. For your information, I have attached my grading scale at the bottom of this syllabus.
A 90 -100% B 80 - 89% C 70 - 79% D 60 - 69% F 0 - 59%
Grade Distribution
3 Essays (E1, E2 and Group Paper): 45% (15% Each)
In-class work/Homework: 10%
WRC Assignments: 5%
Quizzes and Group Presentation: 10%
Final Research Paper*: 30%
18 Hours in the WRC*: Students cannot pass the class without completing 18 hours in the WRC. If students have not completed 5 hours in the WRC by 3/21, they will lose 2% from their final grade.
*NOTE: You cannot pass this course without completing the research paper and 18 hours in the WRC.
