How you will be Graded

Most students are concerned about how they will be graded, and your syllabus provides a breakdown of your score allocation.   This class is about participation; thus, if you want to do well, you will come and participate in each and every activity.

We will give you a single missed activity w/o affecting your grade.   For each missed activity (absence from class, failure to submit journal, failure to participate in outside activity, etc.) thereafter, you will be docked a letter grade.

1 missed activity or assignment     no grade effect

2                                                           B+ max possible

3                                                           C+ max possible

4                                                           D+ max possible

5                                                           E max possible

Please note that, if you miss a class and thus do not submit a journal entry that period, this is TWO (2) missed activities: one class and one journal entry.
