Assignments

Course grades will be based on two exams and two written essays. Each of these assignments will count toward twenty-five percent of your final grade. Grades on late assignments will be penalized one-half of a letter grade for each day that they are late. Study guides for each of the exams and more detailed information on the written essays will be posted to the web page. Use the Netforum class discussions group to discuss these assignments with your classmates in a relaxed and informal virtual discussion session.
