Assignments
Every class meeting will involve some type of assignment. Out-of-class assignments are due at the beginning of class and in-class assignments are due at the end of class. All assignments (deliverables) are provided on individual class websites.
At the end of the semester, students will submit a semester portfolio that represents all work completed for this course with an end-of-the-semester self-assessment memo that will act as a cover memo for the portfolio and individual activity logs. All assignments must be completed to receive a passing grade in this class.
With the final reflection memo, students should submit all documents written for a class as instructed for a particular class on CD ROM or emailed to me in a zipped folder. It is the student's responsibility to make sure that all digital folders and documents will open and display correctly.
For all classes:
- Assignments and readings are due on the day they appear on this weekly schedule.
- I reserve the right to make changes to the weekly schedule when necessary.
- Late assignments risk losing points.
- Students deliberately missing a workshop or presentation day will not
receive an A.
Warning: I generally do not respond to first-year questions such as
How long does this have to be?
As seniors, you should be well aware that a document is as long as it needs to be. If you don't have enough content, it means you haven't done enough research.
Will this be on the quiz?
What do you think?
What do you want?
As seniors, you should know and be able to articulate how the instructor is NOT the audience for a document. Instructors grade your attention to audience. They do not grade how well you guess what they want. If you, as seniors, still think that your audience is the instructor, please bring it up in class so that we can start a discussion.
