Grades
Grades do NOT reflect the amount of work or effort put into a course but achievements and results. The instructor’s role is, in part, that of a coach trying to help students improve their performance so that they can earn and deserve good grades.
Grades will be determined on the basis of four factors:
- Class participation (including presentations)
- Writing assignments
- Final exam
- Publication
The relative weights of these four factors will be negotiated.
An Important Qualifier
Classroom integrity and intellectual honesty are important issues. Plagiarism is a serious offense that will result in course failure.
