There will be 2 exams (worth 100 points each) with questions drawn from both the reading assignments and classroom discussions. For each test, the class average will be determined and adjusted to at least 70% (C). For example, if the class average is 65%, 5% will be added to all grades to bring the average up to 70%. Note that the average will never be adjusted down. Also, note that it is possible to end up with a score of higher than 100%. There will be no make-ups after test day. If a test is missed, you will receive a score of 0 for that test. However, there will be an optional comprehensive final exam. Your 2 highest test scores will be used to calculate your grade. Therefore, taking the final exam can only help your grade. Additionally, each student will give an oral (i.e., powerpoint) presentation of a topic that will be worth 100 points, and another project worth 100 points (details to be presented in class). Finally, 20 points will be determined by me for classroom participation (attendance, discourse, not sleeping, etc – especially during the student presentations).
