Classwork, Participation, Attendance = 30% of grade
For in-person students, I usually take attendance about 5 minutes after class has started. If you arrive after I take attendance, this means that you are late to class. I will mark you as “late” on Canvas. Note: If you are late, please come in quietly so that you do not disturb that class. It is better to be late than to not come to class!
Essay Draft Writing = 30% of grade
Reading Activities (Talk to the Text, Discussions, and Quizzes) = 40% of grade
Note: You can check your grade on Canvas at any time. Check your grade often and please ask me if you have a question about your grades.
