Grades
If you can find ways to be sincerely interested and engaged in the activities of the class, grades tend to take care of themselves. Since grades are a necessary evil, however, let me explain how yours will be determined:
· Your work on the four projects (weighed variously according
to the size and complexity of the assignment): 50% total
· The quality and insight of your written, analytical self commentaries:
25%
· The regularity and substance of your contributions to the community
of the class, including workshop critiques, support groups, class mailing
lists, e-mails, etc.: 15%
· Participation in class generally, including in-class activities,
attendance, promptness: 10%
